PRECIOUS
Tags: belonging, holy, living, praises, royal, spiritual, to God, wonderful
As you come to Him, the living Stone
– rejected by men but chosen by God
and precious to Him- you also, like
living stones, are being built into a spiritual
house to be a holy priesthood, offering
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in Him
will never be put to shame.”
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious.
But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected has
become the capstone,”
“A stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they disobey
the message- which is also what
they were destined for.
But you are a chosen people, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, a people
belonging to God, that you may declare
the praises of Him Who called you
out of darkness into His wonderful light.
(I. Peter 2.4-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
