The Living Stone; Cautions against Sensuality

In this section, Peter describes Jesus Christ as the foundation of the Christian faith. He teaches that Christians are built upon Christ, like stones in a spiritual house. The passage explains both the honor and rejection of Christ, what it means for believers, and how Christians should live as God’s chosen people in a world that opposes them.

v. 4: Peter says that Jesus is the “living stone.” He is chosen by God and precious to Him, but rejected by people. Christians are called to come to Jesus by faith, even though most people do not accept Him. Christ gives life to all who trust in Him, and He is the foundation on which believers are built (1 Peter 2:4 ^a).
