[4] And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been
rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,
1 Peter 2:4
[4] And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been
rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,
1 Peter 2:4
[5] you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to
God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:5-7a
[6] For this is contained in Scripture:“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE
STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone,AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL
NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” [7] This precious value, then, is
for you who believe;
1 Peter 2:5-7a
Christians are those who have the vision to see
Christ’s infinite value.
[5] you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to
God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:5-7a
[1] Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your
bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your
spiritual service of worship.
Romans 12:1
[15] Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of
praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
[16] And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such
sacrifices God is pleased.
Hebrews 13:15-16
[16] to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that
my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified
by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:16
[3] Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers
of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation 8:3
[6] For this is contained in Scripture:“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE
STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone,AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL
NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.” [7] This precious value, then, is
for you who believe;
1 Peter 2:5-7a
[7] This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for
those who disbelieve,“THE STONE WHICH THE
BUILDERS REJECTED,THIS BECAME THE VERY
CORNER stone, ”
1 Peter 2:7-8
[8] and,“A STONE OF STUMBLING AND
A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; for they stumble because they are
disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.
1 Peter 2:7-8
All men have an inevitable meeting with the rock.
[9] But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY
NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may
proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness
into His marvelous light;
1 Peter 2:9-10
[10] for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD;
you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.
1 Peter 2:9-10
Whether the world sees it or not, we are those privileged to
go from darkness to light.
