King and Country: the King’s Constituents

Strength to Strength welcomed Leo Eby to discuss the sixth segment of this “King and Country” series.

A King and a country without humanity wouldn’t be a kingdom at all! The bride of the King is His “purchased possession,” His “inheritance,” human beings whose transformation transcended race, language, gender, culture, bondman or freeman, Jew or Gentile. They live to please their King and to bring Heaven to His country in spite of the hostility of Satan, the world, and the flesh!

The “new humanity” rejoices in tribulation, uses crucified flesh to do the will of their King, speaks truth in love, overcomes evil with good, loves their enemies, and is obsessed with obeying and worshipping their King!

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

1 Peter 2:9, 10
