1Pe 2:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : Just like newborn babies want milk, Christians should strongly desire the pure word of God, so they can grow in faith. This “milk” is the teaching from God’s word that nourishes our souls. Peter says it must be pure—not changed or mixed with human ideas. The goal is to grow in spiritual maturity and become more like Jesus (1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18 ; 2 Corinthians 2:17 ).
