The status of God’s people: a treasured possession (v5)
The mission of God’s people: a kingdom of priests (v6)
The method of this mission: a holy nation (v6)
(1)
What God has already done for his people v4 - redeemed them by his grace for relationshio with hin
(2)
What God requires of his people - V5, v7ff - Covenant
