I wonder how Saul felt when he was anointed to be king over Israel. Once more God had made an interesting choice, far outwitting the so called apt judgement of man. He chose from the smallest clan and narrowed it even further, to the smallest tribe- all to His good pleasure. Saul began his journey, to search for his father's donkey as a commoner, but returned home as an anointed king. He was God's chosen one and that was the bottom line.
We also have been chosen by God. We are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart for Him, we are the righteousness of God... This list is not exhaustive. The bottom line is, like Saul, we have been chosen and set apart for the Lord by His flowing blood, so far as you believe in Him. However, unlike Saul, we must make it a point to remain connected to our source of anointing so that our relationship will not take a downward spirl, leading to a premature end of our "kingship".
Yes Jesus has separated us to Himself, but we also need to remain within His grace through a consistent relationship with Him.
