Spiritual House Of Living Stones

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.

– 1 Peter 2:4-5

Isn’t it Wonderful to know that just as Jesus (Yeshua) is the Living Stone, those who believe in him are also like living stones!  Jesus was rejected by men, but he was chosen by God.  And in the same way, believers in Jesus will be rejected by this world, but we are chosen by God out of this world to be living stones just like Jesus!  As living stones, we are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood!  Now isn’t that EXCITING?!!  The only way that we can be built into a Spiritual house is for each one of us to have the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) living on the inside of us!  And the only way for us to be a Holy priesthood is if we have the Holy Spirit (God) dwelling within us Richly!  In addition to all this, the Lord God desires for us to be able to offer up spiritual sacrifices (or offerings) that are acceptable to him through Jesus (Yeshua)!  The only way that we can offer up Spiritual offerings that are acceptable to God through Jesus (Yeshua) is to have both God and Jesus living within us through the Holy Spirit!  So everything points to having the Holy Spirit inside of us, because when we have the Holy Spirit that is when we are TRULY Living!  The Holy Spirit is what will build us into a Spiritual house of Living stones!
