What Makes You Unique

Posted on by The Message Bearer

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

According to the Bible verse 1 Peter 2:9-11, as a Christian, you are unique in several ways. Firstly, you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a dedicated nation. This means that God has specifically chosen you to be part of his family, and you have a unique purpose to fulfil. You have been set apart for a special mission and to display the virtues and perfections of God in your life.

Secondly, you were once not a people, but now you are God’s people. This shows that you have been brought into a new identity through faith in Jesus Christ. Your past or your circumstances no longer define your identity but your relationship with God.

Thirdly, you have received mercy and pity from God. This means that you have been forgiven of your sins and have been shown compassion and kindness by God. This unique experience sets you apart from those who have not yet experienced God’s mercy and grace.

Lastly, as an alien, stranger, and exile in this world, you are called to abstain from the sensual urges and passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul. This means that as a Christian, you are called to live a life that is different from the world around you. You are called to live a life that is focused on God and his ways rather than on the desires and pleasures of the flesh.

Overall, as a Christian, you are unique because of your identity as a chosen, special, and dedicated person of God, your experience of mercy and pity, and your call to live a holy and set-apart life in a world that is often opposed to God’s ways.

Hi, I’m Cornelius Bella. Welcome to My Corner of the Internet. I’m a Christian writer, blogger, and lifelong seeker of Biblical truth. At CorneliusBella.blog, I share reflections, revelations, and real-life stories shaped by faith, rooted in Scripture, and driven by a deep hunger for God’s presence. For me, spirituality isn’t a Sunday activity—it’s the heartbeat of everyday life. I believe God’s presence is not just a theological concept but a living, breathing reality we can experience moment by moment. One of my guiding prayers is this: “May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God’s presence—and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself to Him.” If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. On my blog, I write about prayer, meditation, surrender, gratitude, and the kind of faith that transforms not just what we believe, but how we live. I explore how spiritual principles can help us navigate pain, find purpose, and live with deeper joy—even in the middle of life’s uncertainties. But more than that, I write to connect. To build a community of believers who are hungry for more of God. Who want to grow, not just in knowledge, but in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Who are tired of surface-level religion and ready to live from the inside out. So whether you’re wrestling with big questions or just looking for encouragement to keep walking by faith—I’d love for you to join the journey. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and let’s grow together in grace, truth, and the joy of God’s presence. Let’s live fully surrendered. Let’s walk by faith. Let’s seek Him—daily.
