Believers are God's Billboard - Jeremiah 12-16

God had a purpose for the nation of Israel when He redeemed them out of Egypt.   When we understand that one aspect of Israel's redemption was to show us God's concern for all believers and His purpose for all believers, we have to take note.   In 13:11 we read that God tells Israel through Jeremiah's prophecy that they were redeemed for the purpose of making God known to those around them. God chooses to use people has His billboards.   We don't always see our personal salvation in this context but that is what Peter tells us when he writes that we are a "peculiar people" a "holy nation" (1 Peter 2:9).   We tend to think of "our" salvation in the context of "our" benefits.   We tend to think of a ticket out of hell and peace on this earth as a direct impact of our salvation.  But, in reality, in the forefront of God's plan is that we would be a nation of people that draw other's attention to God.  We need to think more of our salvation on how it is used by God to accomplish glory for Him.   We are His billboard.  What do other's read?
