'For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.'

We as people of God are holy to him. It's not our right that we may receive eternal salvation, it was a God-given destiny. We weren't born to be people of God so that when we die, we will go to heaven but we were chosen by God to be his people. Let's not think for once that going to heaven was our right but in fact, it's our privilege and as fast as privileges can be given, it can also be taken away. The bible says that what is precious to us is also precious to God and so if our destiny is his treasured possession, shouldn't this destiny given by God be our treasured possession?

Let's not be Esau who sold his birthright for some bread and some stew and then despised his birthright because of his foolishness. Temptations do come but would you rather have things of this world or have this things from God? Anyone can have the things of this world but not everyone has a destiny to be with God for eternity. God can bless you with the things of this world but the world cannot bless you with the things of God. God is so unlimited but this world is very limited.

And this destiny of ours, it's an eternal privilege, not a right.
