{{ The book of Peter is so written is such a manner that there is not much to question the meaning of, stop reading and take the time to ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart mind and soul.
Then take the time to read on, read slowly and let the words of Peter soke in, allow the Lord our God speak to you, to your soul. }}
1Peter 2:1-3
¶ Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation,
if you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. As Living Stones
1Peter 2:4-8
¶ And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For this is contained in Scripture:
“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”
This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
“THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,”
“A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”;
for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.
1Peter 2:9-10
¶ But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.
1Peter 2:11-12
¶ Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
{{{ i hope, no i pray you took the time to allow the Holy Spirit to show you just how strong a foundation you have if you are planted in Christ Jesus, for He is the Corner Ston.
“you also, as living stones,
are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
and that is who we are in Christ Jesus if we have given our lives over to Him and excepted His salvation. }}}
{{{ the return of the Lord is close, take the word of GOD and the things going on in the world today, look at them side by side and you can see prophases in the bible are being fulfilled.
The Lord Jesus Christ is at hand, His return is inevitable. Soon He will appear in the clouds to gather those who are His.
Will you be one of them?
Or will you be one just playing church?
And left behind. }}}
