GOD’S PECULIAR PEOPLE

GOD’S PECULIAR PEOPLE

Paul writing to Titus in the second chapter and verse fourteen said this, “Who gave Himself (Jesus Christ) for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a PECULIAR PEOPLE, zealous of good works.” The New King James Version has “A SPECIAL PEOPLE”. Both translations obscure the original meaning. Some assume that the word peculiar implies some strange or oddball people. This is not at all what is intended.
The word is translated from a Greek word which is actually made up of two words, one, which means “around” as a circle, the other which means, “To be”. Putting them together “to be around” we have the sense of the text. Those people that Christ gave Himself for, that He redeemed and purified, is an “encircled people”. In the Psalms, David shows that he understands this when he says, “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.” He speaks also of the Lord having hedged or enclosed him, being “behind and before” him, and on his right hand, and his left hand.
The original word in Titus 2:14, which is literally “to be around” can be understood as a circle is around a dot. As that circle is around the dot so God is around His saints. They are His own special and private possession, HIS PECULIAR TREASURE. He has reserved them for Himself.
In First Thessalonians, chapter one and verse one, we are enabled to see the idea; “The Church of the Thessalonians in God.” The Greek case is locative of sphere. The Church of the Thessalonians is in the sphere of God, circumscribed by God and surrounded by Him. We see this also in the case of Job in the Old Testament. Satan complained to God that He could not get to the old patriarch because God had Job “hedged around.”
What a position to be in! To be surrounded by the Sovereign God, to be preserved and protected by Him who governs all things, whether in heaven, earth, or hell! What a high privilege. To be inside the circle means that nothing outside the circle can enter the circle without God’s permission. God only permits this for the good of His people and His glory.
In other words He sanctifies adversity or affliction in the life of a child of God to that child’s greater spiritual good and God’s greater glory.

They live, and live to God; A life that’s known by few;
Their Father’s staff and rod, Support and comfort too;
Christ is their Life, nor can they die,
For hell can ne’er their life destroy.
