—1 Peter 1:22-2: 3
by: Ellen Olson.
The people in this passage have made the initial step in their Christian walk. They have obeyed the truth, purified their souls, and have been born again. The next step described here is to nurture themselves on the pure milk of the word of God. The word of God, above all else, gives Christians the basis on which to build their life. New Christians and mature Christians both need to depend on the Scriptures as their foundation. Do we desire and long for the word of God? Does the amount of time we spend in God's word reflect this?
