Lesson 3043

Lesson (3043)(04-30-20) 1 Peter 2:1-5
   “Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.”

    Remembering that this book of Peter was written expressly to the Gentiles, in today’s quote, Peter, in essence, ordained the saved Gentiles as God’s newly chosen people; Therefore, the Gentiles are now, according to Peter, the “elect”.
    Peter also encouraged the newly converted Gentiles to take the work of God in easy lessons as if they were children learning things for the first time.~
