The passage is from 1 Peter chapter 2 (BIBLE)
4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. precious,
We notice a process here. Lets find the verbs which relate a child of God: coming to Him, built up and finally offer up.
Coming to Him: Shows our calling by God, and our response to His call.
Built Up: 1. Spiritual House 2. Holy Priesthood
Spiritual House: refers to Growth in our personal relationship with God as well as men.
Holy Priesthood: refers to our life separated out to Him.
Offer Up: Shows worship, surrendering ourselves for His will, as John says- I must decrease.
The mistake that we generally make is to go and 'offer up' first, rather than going through the process of coming to Him and building up ourselves and then offering ourselves. Let this blog help us to examine ourselves.
