Unless we have tasted that God is gracious we will never desire more of Him 2:3
Do you have a God given desire to keep on growing as a Christian? or have you reached a spiritual plateau? Its impossible to continue to live as we did before we knew Christ and continue to make genuine spiritual growth. Be done with it! and instead cry out (strongly desire) for more of what you first “tasted” when you first came to Christ, God will surely grant your desire 2::1-2
Peter’s Jewish readers would of understood the living stones as referring to Israel. Jesus Christ is the Corner Stone of the New Spiritual Temple. As living stones all believers make up the New Spiritual Temple, the church does not cancel believing Israel but completes it 2:5
Many have stumbled over the Rock by failing to believe in Jesus.Christ and the gospel. People are going to a lost eternity not simply because of their sins but because they reject Jesus and refuse to trust Him as saviour 2;8, John 3:18
Christians are temporary residents of this world and because of this we should be careful how we live so that the citizens of this world will give honour to God because of us. If we let Him, the Holy Spirit will show us how we should behave now that we are citizens of another Kingdom, am I generous and kind to unbelievers and believers alike? Will those I come into into contact with give honour to God because of the way I conduct myself? Its usual when we move house to leave it clean and tidy so lets be careful not to leave any junk behind us when God calls us to our permanent home lets make sure we leave a good reputation that brings honour to God 2:11-12
memory verse
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment. 1Peter 2:2 N.L.T.
