I am chosen, royal, holy and peculiar

When we forget who we are in the Lord Jesus Christ, it is easy to fall prey to the world and settle for the things of this world.

1 Peter 2: 9-11

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 marvellous light;

Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Why is it that we must free ourselves from this world? Because we are a chosen, royal, holy, and peculiar people for God's possession. What does this all mean?
