About this episode

This episode explores the themes of spiritual growth and obedience in the context of 1 Peter 2:1-8.

Listen along as we continue through 1 Peter. Notes//Quotes: 1 Peter 2:1-8 Psalm 19:7-11 Every other ethical system calls us to the costly effort of becoming what we are not. But in the full salvation already bequeathed to us in Christ, the new nature is already ours, waiting for expression, poised for growth, until its potential is triggered by our obedience to the word of God - Alec Motyer What God desires from us, he graciously forms in us as we grow in our love for him.
