I Peter 2:9-12
Excerpted from: Looking Back to the Future

We are pilgrims. We are a people who are on the move. We are heirs, but we are not yet inheritors. We are not in the land yet, but we are journeying toward it. We are not yet fully saved. A pilgrim is a person who is out of his country. A pilgrim is a person who is in a foreign land. He is traveling through it; he is not intending on making that land his home. He is not intending on putting down roots, but he is heading somewhere else with a definite goal in mind.

A pilgrim is not a wanderer. He may not have a home, but he has a definite goal toward which he is going. It is entirely possible for a person to be a sojourner without being a pilgrim. You can be a person who is blown from pillar to post; that is what these people who have all these “miscellaneous” interests are. They are being blown all over the place, in every direction.

They are not purposely going toward the goal, which is the Kingdom of God. It is entirely possible, though, that a person will never become a pilgrim unless he first becomes a sojourner. Someone who of his own volition, the setting of his will, uproots himself from that which is familiar and heads out into territory not knowing exactly where he is going.

If you are getting the picture, I think you will begin to see and agree, that it will not be very long if he keeps sojourning that somebody is going to show him the picture more and more clearly.

I Peter 2:9-10
Excerpted from: What Is the Church?

Now we see here that those being called into God's church at this time are chosen, a chosen generation. We also see the change, the catalyst, if you will, that for those who will believe are called out of darkness and into His marvelous light. In order to be part of His church, this assembly of His people, we must be called by God.
