God Calls You His Treasured Possession

Metaphor: Treasured Possession

Concept: Chosen, selected a head of all the peoples of the earth by God Himself.
Deut 7:6;"For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. NASU

A look at the context of the surrounding passage shows that God has done and will do this because of those who respond in faith and love Him and keep His commandments out of love and faith in Him. Faith in someone intermingled with love for them is a powerful combination, but when combined with action based on faith and love the results is a three stranded cord which cannot be broken.

God responds to this three stranded cord of faith, and love which result in actions of cooperation with God and submission to His ways with the ultimate response of having selected, chosen us as His people from among all the peoples of the earth.

 Chose you this day not just whom you will serve but how you will serve Him. If your faith in and love toward God results in submission to His ways and obedience to His laws then you will be among the Chosen possession of the one true God.
