‏ Exodus 19:5-6

v. 5–6: God told Israel that if they would obey his voice and keep his covenant, they would be his own special treasure among all the nations. He said, You shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation (Exodus 19:5–6 a). This meant they would belong to God, be loved by him, and have a special purpose to serve him and show the world what God is like. All believers in Christ are also called a royal priesthood and a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6 b).
