“Blessed is that nation whose God is the LORD”

1/31/2017

Jesus Christ is the LORD, Jehovah(1). That blessed nation whose God is the Lord Jesus Christ, is the congregation of His saints, His sheep, those who believe Him, the Church of God(2). “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people” (1 Pet. 2:9). “A peculiar people” means we are God’s inheritance, a people of His own special possession(3). Not only have we been given an inheritance in Christ(4), but we have been chosen to that inheritance before the foundation of the world(5). Christ is our inheritance(6), and we are His(7). The nation whose God is the Lord Jesus Christ is blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Him(8). The country we live in is a nation on earth. But it is not the nation whose God is the Lord. This nation’s God is not the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord is King of kings and Lord of lords. He turns the king’s heart wherever it pleases Him(9). Let us therefore pray to our great God and Savior, “Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up forever” (Ps. 28:9; John 6:39).
