Greetings! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

1 Peter Chapter 2 continues with Peter's message to the scattered Christian communities, focusing on the theme of spiritual growth. Peter emphasizes the importance of living as God's chosen people, holy and set apart for His purposes. He sends a reminder to the people that they are living stones in God's spiritual house, and that they have a living hope in Christ.

Peter urges the believers to rid themselves of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander, and to crave pure spiritual milk so that they may grow up in their salvation. He encourages them to come to Christ, the living stone, and to build their lives on Him, rather than on the world's values.
Peter also reminds them of their identity as a royal priesthood and a holy nation, and encourages them to proclaim the goodness of God to the world. ...
