“And this word is the good news that was preached to you. So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. ” 1 Peter 1:25b-2:1-3 (ESV)
From out of the Word of God, which stands forever, we find today’s promise from God. He has given us these Words for strength to our spiritual life. We can think of it as the milk that is essential for a newborn to grow big and in strength. The Word is just as essential for us. The Word of God, we considered yesterday in our post is true and will not fade away, we have it secure. It is the good news of Christ Jesus. For all who have in faith believing come to Jesus for salvation and for eternal life; have tasted the benefit of faith and know that our Lord is good. The Word of God helps us grow into the children of God we have been called to be. We have been saved through this Word and we grow strong in our faith through this Word. We are not left to fend for ourselves, having to make our way by ourselves, God has given us His love through the Scriptures for this purpose: to grow into mature servanthood and develop passion and love of our Savior. It’s a natural thing to want more of God’s word.
