Under the Old Covenant, the priesthood belonged to Aaron and his sons. Since believers, by faith, are part of Christ's family line, they receive the ministry of the priesthood also. Under the Levitical system, there was one high priest among the priests. Christ was called a High Priest and not the only priest; thus, there has to be other priests that serve with Him. These other priests are those who have believed on Him. The believer receives kingship and priesthood through Jesus. To have a people of a royal priesthood has always been a part of God's plan for His people. It was His desire for the children of Israel, yet He developed this desire in the believers. In the pages of the second book of this set, we will bring clarity to the believers as the royal priesthood. Book 2 of 2. - Small Group and Bible study edition is available: "Royal Priesthood Studies 101: Introductory Studies to the Priesthood of the Believer."
How do you handle personal mistakes? Do you allow them to paralyze your personal success and spiritual growth? Or, do you allow them to induce fear and doubt in your relationship with Christ? The Bible contains numerous accounts of individuals who failed in their relationship with Him. Yet, this did not prevent them from doing great things for Him. In the second book of this series, we will continue to examine the failures and ultimate successes of biblical characters. If they overcame, then, the Christian today can come out of any personal pit and enter into their God-given purpose. Their examples provide hope and strength for the Christian today.
