There are two passages in the New Testament that use the term “peculiar people.” Clearly, God has sanctified (set apart) His people. (cp Acts 20:32) If he has separated his people to be “peculiar people,” then two things are evident
1. One must be separated from something
2. One must be separated to something
In the account of Titus, Paul writes: “Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”
In the account of I Peter, Peter writes: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:”
The words peculiar in both accounts come from the same Greek word. (noun - peripoiesis) This word defined refers to a “purchased possession.” (Vine’s) By implication and context being God’s purchased possession or one who is a Christian makes one different then the world.
For our time together this week let us consider God’s “peculiar people.”
