...ALSO.... we are all his ‘subjects’.... we (all of us humans, priests, bishops, cardinals),.... are not “Royalty”!
Oh but we are royalty We have been adopted into the Family and call God Father and Christ Brother. It has pleased God to give us all this through Christ. I don’t think we stop often enough and think about or appreciate all God has given us Mercy grace and salvation are important and the way back to God Once there He has given us all things in Christ If He gave Himself to us and died for our sake, how would He withhold anything else? He gave it all for us and to us. Humbling and awesome!!!!
By adoption through the grace of baptism we become sons and daughters of the King. The sons and daughters of the King are most definitely royalty.
