“…like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” 1 Peter 2:2
Our bodies all need nourishment in order to grow and flourish, but what about our souls? Although we might not realize it, for our souls to flourish and to be healthy, they need attention and nourishment just the same. And just as physical malnutrition can affect your entire life, spiritual malnutrition will do the same.
So how do we continue to grow and mature in the soul? Peter says that we must remain engaged in the “pure milk of the word”. It is through the Word of God that our souls are strengthened, sustained, restored, and renewed. It is God’s Word that enables us to go from just “being saved”, to living and growing in our salvation.
Don’t neglect the pure and nourishing milk of the Word of God today. It’s the only way that you are going to grow up in your relationship with God!
