1 Peter Study - part 44

The defining mark of the born again believer is his obedience to the Word of God resulting in his love of his brothers and sisters in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Peter now reminds us of our new birth, and that we were not born of perishable seed like we were when born physically, but imperishable seed, none other than the living abiding word of God! Peter tells us to desire with intensity the pure word of God, so that we may grow in our salvation. Here we study the subject of Jesus Christ as the rock in the many ways that He is revealed in the symbolism of rocks and stones throughout God's Word.
