—1 Peter 2:1-8
by: Cheryl Steele.
In 1 Corinthians 6:19, Paul wrote that, “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.” Here in 1 Peter we are told that we “are being built up as a spiritual house.” That gives me the idea that I am expected to grow in my relationship with God as well as in my interaction with others. God provides the foundation upon which all of us are to build our “temples”. In Psalm 118:22, we read that, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner stone” (NASB). We can understand this is not a new idea and was God’s plan all along.
