OUR SIGNS AS THE PEOPLE OF GOD
Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 11:20)
Each person has a mark that is different from others such as a fingerprint or an eye retina. It is so wonderful that our God created everyone differently, even identical twins. May all people recognize us as believers because they see a special mark on us.
The question for each of us is, what is our identity or mark as God's people? The answer is our character that is like Christ's character. It's not about how long we've been a Christian or wearing crosses. It's about our heart condition.
The Israelites are called as God's chosen people, not only because they are physically Abraham's descendants but also because God longs for them to be His people. We become God's people not only because we are Christians, but also because our lives are proven to reflect Christ.
In every country there must be rules issued by the government for its citizens to live in order and peace. The rules God gave the people of Israel were rules for them to live with order and to glorify God. As God's people, let us practice every rule of God's Word because this is our ‘mark’ as the people of God.
We become God's people not only because we are Christians, but also because our lives are proven to reflect Christ.
