“Revelation 1:6: And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” What does this mean? It means we were once sinners separated from God but have now become a part of the royal priesthood (or body) of Christ. We were once in bondage to sin but now we worship God. We are a kingdom of priests. Back in the Old Testament days animal sacrifices were offered on behalf of the people. Now with Jesus’ sacrifice Christ is the lamb of God and the only way to be joined to God. We were once stuck in sin but now we are cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Ephesians 2:2, 5 remind us that once we were followers of the prince of the power of the air—Satan—but our merciful and loving God made us alive together with Christ. John is telling us that we now offer praise to God for uniting us to Him. God has all praise, glory and dominion. Amen
