Isaiah 1:19-20

The condition of the church today is similar to the condition of Judah in the day of Isaiah. Judah was God’s chosen people.

Deuteronomy 14:1-2
“Ye are the children of the Lord your God: Ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.”

1 Peter 2:9
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”
