Congratulations!

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people,

in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.  

Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; 

once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

1 Peter 2:9-10
