Elite

To be is a select group that is superior is a Good thing.

But the issue is 'Good'. Who defines what is Good? Society, Educators, Philosophers, those in Power?

Only God has the Authority to define what is Good.

Hence, for a group to be superior it must be aligned with God.

God defines what it is truly Elite.

So, as we look at any group which identifies as Elite we must consider the foundation for that group. Is the group in concert with God or in conflict with God.

Satan was the first Elitist. He determined that he no longer wanted to be under the Authority of God.

Those in Media, Education, Government, Entertainment, Business and Religion who are Elitists are only truly Elite if they are connected with God. Otherwise, they are Deceived Deceivers operating under the inspiration of their father, Satan.

What about those who derive their goodness from God? They are the true Elites.

But you are a chosen generation, a Royal Priesthood, an Holy Nation, a peculiar People; that you should show forth the Praises of him who has called you out of Darkness into his marvellous Light: - 1Pe 2:9

We are now SonsOfGod and joint Heirs with Christ Jesus of all that the Father has. By the Power of the HolySpirit in us we show forth His Praises who has so elevated us.

Beloved, now are we the Sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we Know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall See him as he is. - 1Jn 3:2

We are Now SonsOfGod even in these mortal bodies. What Glory we will experience in the Translation at His appearing.

And if Children, then heirs; Heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. - Rom 8:17

JointHeirs means that we share in all things - the Glory and the Persecution.

God has willed that those who come to Him by Faith in Christ are made Elite. They become members of the Family of God. InChrist we are elevated higher than the Angels.

So, don't let anyone or any group that elevates themselves because of their Edication, Intelligence, Talent, Wealth or Power lord themselves over you as Elites.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; Fear to whom Fear; Honour to whom Honour. - Rom 13:7

The key word here is 'due'. When a Government is doing (in general) what the Institution of Government was designed to do by God, then it is due Honour, etc.
