Why is knowing we are God's people important?

Understanding our identity as God's people brings immense comfort and assurance. It signifies that we are part of a covenant relationship where the Lord has committed Himself to us. As outlined in the sermon, the people of God are those who have been called and chosen by Him, eliciting a deep sense of belonging and security (Acts 2:39). This knowledge enables believers to stand firm against trials, knowing they are not alone but are upheld by the Almighty who fights for His people. Furthermore, it underscores that our hope is built not merely on our merit but on God's grace and promise.
