We will be His People.

 Amen. This is the glorious and covenantal promise that runs like a golden thread from Genesis to Revelation. It is the story of a God who says, "I will be your God, and you will be my people." It is a declaration of belonging, identity, and eternal security.

Here is a poetic reflection on this profound truth.

---

We Will Be His People

Not by our merit, not by our name,

Not by a righteousness we could ever claim.

But by the blood of a covenant,pure and true,

A promise spoken,making all things new.

From Abraham's call to the Exodus story,

This was the heart of His covenant glory:

“I will take you as my own,”He said,

And by His mighty arm,our lives He led.

Through prophets' voices, the promise rang clear,

A future hope,casting out every fear.

A new heart given,His law within,

Cleansed from the power and the stain of sin.

“I will be your God, and you will be my people.”(Jeremiah 30:22)

And in the fullness of time, the Word became flesh,

To heal the division,to mend the deep mesh

That kept us as strangers,far from His grace,

And bring us back to our true dwelling place.

Through Jesus, the Door, the Way, and the Light,

We are no longer in the dark of the night.

We are His children,adopted, embraced,

By His boundless mercy,we are forever graced.

So we will be His people.

A chosen race,a royal priesthood,

A holy nation,for His own good.

A people belonging,a treasured possession,

Ransomed from death,and from sin's oppression.

And when the final chapter is written down,

In the New Jerusalem,with glory as its crown,

The promise resounds,the story is complete,

The eternal,joyous, divine heartbeat:

“Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them.

They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.”

— Revelation 21:3

We will be His people.

Forever.

Amen.
