Our Oneness with GOD

I have been thinking on what Jesus said in John 17 and relooked at this whole scripture to find a key verse or two that catches my attention. Now I rechecked my posts on the promises and related areas of scripture for more back ground on our being now counted One with God by God (Elohim, El, Yhwh) and other titles of His divine nature as known by the Hebrews and His prophets in eons gone by. The main one that stands out is the "LORD" sometimes used by the Bible translation writers. It is from this perspective that I now share a few of my findings for thought and consideration for all. The following are general references to our being God's people as hidden within the context of scripture. These having their origin in John 17:8-10 where we find this said, "For I have given them the words that You gave Me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are yours. All mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them."


A peculiar treasure:


Exodus 19:5-6, Titus 2:11-14 and 1Peter 2:4-8, 9-10 "Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel."

Titus 2:11-14 "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works."

1Peter 2:4-8, 9-10 "You come to Him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in Him will not be put to shame." So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone," and "A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."

Tomorrow the LORD willing I will continue with such things as our being a chosen by Yehovah, exalted above all nations and our being guided like a flock and much more.
