Putting Off and Taking In
1 Peter 2:1-3
Pastor Shay
Christianity is not only to be believed; it must also be lived. Life begins with birth, and in the first chapter of this epistle, Peter has reminded us of the reality of the new birth—of being born again not of corruptible or temporary seed, but of incorruptible or eternal seed. God invites us to be born anew of the Spirit so that we might have life eternal (John 3:1–17).
Birth must be followed by nurture. And just as a natural baby requires milk in order to be nourished and to grow, so must a spiritual baby have the milk of God’s Word in order to be nourished and to grow up in Christ. That is a contention which Peter makes so directly and plainly that none of us can miss it!

The Christian life is wonderful, but it is rarely easy. Sometimes we might even feel burdened with ‘all kinds of trials’ just like Peter’s first readers. Peter urges his friends to continue to live for Jesus, despite their present difficulties, by reminding them that they have a secure future in Christ. This expositional devotion is ideal for those new to reading the Bible and will also suit more experienced readers.
