LIKE LIVING STONES, LET YOURSELVES
BE BUILT INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE
1 PETER 2:5
Wording in the different versions of the re-written Bibles: Biblia
What does it mean?
"In the time of Israel, the first temple was a physical building which was constructed out of great blocks of hewn stone. In this dispensation, Christians are a spiritual house and all believers are living stones that are being assembled together as a fitting dwelling-place for God, with the Lord Jesus Christ being the chief Cornerstone.
"Not only are we living stones that are being fashioned into a spiritual house, but we are all ambassadors of God, representatives of the King, and a holy priesthood: "You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood," Peter writes, "in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices, that are acceptable to God, through Jesus Christ."
"Christ's sacrifice on the Cross gave every believer access into the presence of God, by faith. Admittance into God's holy presence is nothing to do with who we are or what we have done. It is not because of our merit that we are granted this incredible privilege into the throne room of the Almighty and given the right to come boldly to the throne of grace, for mercy to find help in time of need. We do not approach God in our good name but through the saving name of Jesus. We come to God 'in Jesus' name'." ~ Knowing Jesus
