Loren, have you forgotten,
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye
should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvellous light:

Is the above not addressed to the Church?

I believe so. So here we have God telling us through the
Apostle Peter that
the church is "an holy nation."
