What does the Bible say about the excellency of the believer?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers are seen as excellent due to their identity in Christ, as partakers of the divine nature and a holy priesthood.

The excellency of the believer is profoundly tied to their relationship with Christ. As articulated in 1 Peter 2:9, believers are described as a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. This signifies that their worth is not based on their actions but solely on God's grace and election. Believers are empowered to offer spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Christ, highlighting their esteemed position before Him. Their excellency is acknowledged by God, who sees them as fit for communion with Himself, rooted in the grace that engendered their faith.
