1 Peter 2 Bible Study: You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (1 Peter 2.9-10)
1 Peter 2 emphasises that believers should live holy lives, growing in faith like newborn babies craving spiritual milk. They are compared to living stones, built into a spiritual house with Jesus as the cornerstone. Those who trust in Him will not be put to shame, while those who reject Him will stumble.
