"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praise of Him that hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9).
"Jesus has made us, the redeemed individuals, to be functioning priests here on earth, to join Him in making intercession for others according to God’s revealed will, to lead worship here on earth, to be the dwelling place of God and the meeting place of people and God, "to be the link between the unredeemed and the saving grace of God in Christ." – and Dr. Judson Cornwall
