Exodus 19:5-6a
Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
All the earth is God's. He can do what He wishes with all of it. But the one thing He won't do is force me to obey. I have to wilingly offer that myself. And when I become a person who obeys, who strived to keep the covenant I share with Him, I am a special treasure. I was special before, a unique creation He loved enough that He was willing to send Jesus to the cross on my behalf. But when I accept Jesus and and live in this covenant, I become complete and enter the circle of relationship with God for which we were all created. I am also enlisted into His priesthood and a representative of His holy nation. I become His hands, His feet, His mouthpiece.
