You’re of a peculiar lineage; it's got something to do with your birth, your nature! It’s like someone trying to select a particular stock of chickens; his aim isn’t just to select the best-looking chickens but a specific breed, a chosen breed. There’s something inherent in their nature that he wants. In the same way, you're not like everyone else who was born naturally; you’ve been born again-born of the Spirit and born of the Word. This makes you a different stock, a different race, a set-apart breed. That’s what our opening scripture accentuates: your inherent peculiar nature. It's about the breed-how you were born. Your ancestry is divine. Everywhere you go in this world, keep in mind that you’re one of a kind. You're not like everybody else. You’re God’s choice. The Bible says He gave Himself for you, cleansed and purified you unto Himself to be His peculiar treasure, zealous of good works (Titus 2:14). Then James 1:18 says, *“Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”* “Firstfruits” means the first and the best, the cream of the crop.

```But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…(1 Peter 2:9).```
The term “chosen generation” comes from the Greek "Genos Eklekton," meaning an elect or chosen race, breed, or stock. The word "chosen," implies being separated or set apart.

It’s like someone trying to select a particular stock of chickens; his aim isn’t just to select the best-looking chickens but a specific breed, a chosen breed.
