How to live as God's people today?
In what ways can we live as God's people today, per Jeremiah 30:22?

Our Identity Affirmed

“ ‘And you will be My people, and I will be your God.’ ” (Jeremiah 30:22)

• This covenant formula roots our identity not in culture, success, or feelings, but in being personally owned and loved by the LORD.

Jeremiah 31:33 echoes the same promise, now written on our hearts through the new covenant in Christ.

1 Peter 2:9 reminds us that God’s people are “a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession.”


Living the Covenant Relationship

• Delight in His presence: remain in Christ the true Vine (John 15:5).

• Offer whole-life worship: “present your bodies as living sacrifices” (Romans 12:1-2).

• Guard exclusive loyalty: “What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols?” (2 Corinthians 6:16).


Reflecting God’s Character

• Daily cultivate the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

• Pursue justice, mercy, and humility (Micah 6:8).

• Be salt and light, visibly distinct yet graciously engaged (Matthew 5:13-16).


Practicing Obedience in Daily Life

• Zealous for good works prepared beforehand (Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:14).

• Integrity in speech, finances, and relationships—showing the world a trustworthy people.

• Intentional stewardship of time and resources, recognizing everything belongs to our God.


Cultivating Community as God’s People

• Regular gathering that encourages and spurs to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24-25).

• Mutual service—bearing one another’s burdens fulfils Christ’s law (Galatians 6:2).

• Hospitable, forgiving, and reconciling, demonstrating kingdom family life.


Looking Forward in Hope

• Our present identity is anchored in a future reality: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man… They will be His people” (Revelation 21:3).

• Hope energizes faithfulness now; every act of obedient living previews the coming kingdom.
