To Lay Aside/To Put On

Summary

The sermon explores 1 Peter 2:1 and emphasizes the Christian's call to lay aside the old sinful nature and put on the new divine nature received through the new birth in Christ. It highlights the importance of spiritual growth from milk to meat in the Word of God, the rejection and preciousness of Christ as the living stone, and the call for believers to offer spiritual sacrifices through worship and holy living. The message encourages believers to live up to their identity as God's children by forsaking malice, envy, and hypocrisy, and growing in grace and knowledge of the truth.
