Connection to Christ

Main Point

There are privileges to being connected to Christ. When we connect with Christ we disconnect from the world. While it may be difficult to leave the darkness of the world, God grants us new qualities in Christ. When Christ calls us out of the darkness he is calling us to something new.

New Privileges in Christ 

1. Royal Priesthood
2. Holy Nation
3. God’s Possession 
4. Community with other believers
5. God’s Mercy
6. God’s Light
7. So that we can tell others

Scripture

• 1 Peter 2:6-10
• Acts 15:7-9

 Questions

• Which privilege stands out to you and why? 
• What does it mean to be a “Holy Nation”? 
• Why is God’s mercy a privilege?
• How can we shine the light of Christ to others?

Application

• Memorize Exodus 19:6a

and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’
