Our identity is vital to remember, to put on, and to live out of every day. We are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, reigning and ministering as servants and children of our Lord. We look closely at the word "race" throughout the New Testament and the significance of "royalty" of our priesthood. Jesus is the promised son of David, of the kingly line of Judah and the Melchizedekian priesthood. As members of His family with Jesus as a king-priest, we are likewise royal priests of God.
