“Peculiar people” means “His own special people” and that makes every born-again child of God through faith in Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE! As His people, we are extraordinary because He has given to us the privilege of being His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray (implore) you in Christ's stead (on behalf of Christ), be ye reconciled to God.” There is no greater purpose in life! He has also given us another great purpose, that of encouraging and building each other up in Christ, helping fellow believers to become more like Him. “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, ESV). “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). We are given the grand purpose of bearing fruit for His and the Father’s glory in all areas of your life. “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained (appointed) you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (John 15:16).
