New born

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new born are those who repented, are forgiven, and now walking in His ways through the Ruach given by Yahuah.

Having put aside, then, all evil, and all deceit, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil words, as new born babes,  desire the unadulterated milk of the Word, in order that you grow by it, if indeed you have tasted that the Master is good – 1 Peter 2:1-3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Believers are the ones mentioned in above verse who grow in the Word because they believe Yahuah is the Creator of the heavens and the earth as said by David in Psalm 34:8.

Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that Yahuah is good; Blessed is the man that takes refuge in Him!

1 Peter 2:5 you also, as living stones, are being built up, a spiritual house, a set-apart priesthood, to offer up spiritual slaughter offerings acceptable to Elohim through Yahusha Ha’Mashiach.

By growing in the Word daily, we become a spiritual house (church), a nation of priests giving our offerings to Yahuah through the Messiah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In 1 Peter 2:8 we see some stumble because they are disobedient to the Word.

Many will hear the Word and grow in it, but later on turn away and become disobedient. It is written in John 3:36 “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.”

 

1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession (peculiar people), that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light, which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of Elohim; …

Yahuah took Israel out of Egypt so they could become a nation of priests (Exodus 19:5, 6). This did not happen due to the continual rebellion of the people, so in the renewed Covenant clearly the intention, as it originally was, is to make a kingdom of priests according to the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7:11, Hebrews 3:1).

 

 

 

 

This message was written to the Israelites living abroad and Peter uses a direct quote from Hosea 1:6-10, to show through Messiah these dispersed Israelites are able to be rejoined to the covenant of Yahuah, even in their diaspora.

You are called out of darkness (wickedness) to become His chosen people, walking as priests and being obedient to His Word – the new born.
