Key Verse
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
Text — 1 Peter 2:1-7
may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2
Message
Plants grow, animals grow and human beings also pass through the process of growth. A baby that remains with the same height, weight, after a few years will give his parents great concern. Growth is a sign of progress both physically and spiritually. God desires that as His creatures, we should grow spiritually. The means to achieve that is through His word. This word is referred to as the sincere milk. As physical milk is necessary for the physical growth of the new born baby, so also is the sincere milk vital for our spiritual growth and health.
The main ingredient for our spiritual wellbeing is the DESIRE for the sincere milk of God’s word. Therefore, you must: Daily read your Bible and meditate on its message.
Exemplify the word of God by obeying all that it commands.
Seek to understand more by asking questions.
Increase and strengthen your faith by committing to memory
portions of the Bible.
Remove doubts and fear by praying-in the word.
Encourage others to read God’s word and believe it.
