Scripture
1 Peter 2:9
The name "Autumn Royalty" reminds us of a wonderful truth found in God's Word. While we often think of Jesus as the King of kings, the Bible also teaches that those who belong to Him have been brought into His royal family.
Peter wrote,
"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."
—1 Peter 2:9
Because of our sin, we were once separated from God. But through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, those who place their faith in Him are forgiven, adopted into God's family, and given a new identity. We are no longer strangers or enemies—we are children of the King.
The book of Revelation reminds us that Christ,
"...hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father."
—Revelation 1:6
Royalty is more than a title; it is a calling. Peter tells us why God has made us a royal priesthood: "that ye should shew forth the praises of him." Our lives should reflect the King we serve. Our words, attitudes, actions, and love for others should point people to Jesus, who called us "out of darkness into his marvellous light."
