"We tend to preach the Gospel as if it’s only about the forgiveness of
sins. But, in fact, the whole point about having your sins forgiven is
to reconnect you to God so that you can live the life He’s designed you
to have. So, the gift of the Spirit is the enabler in that. And that was
the missing dimension in the Hebrew Scriptures in the Old Testament and
the Mosaic Covenant, is that God was working with the law, but, He
wasn’t working inside the heart. So, He promised a New Covenant in
Jeremiah. He says, “I’m gonna put the law in your heart, I’m gonna bring
it inside of you. That’s the Gospel and that is the message of Acts 2." -- Darrell Bock

I think these verses from 1 Peter 2:9-10 go well with this quote. "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people..."
You right, these verses do go well with this quote.
