The Approved Diet - Pastor Ekpenyong

1 Peter 2:2-3 “Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation; if you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord.”_ 

It is an established fact that you are what you eat, for what you eat could either be killing you or building you. This is also applicable to spiritual matters.

Many believers have had stunted growth because of the teachings they have continually received despite being believers for many years.

That is why Hebrews 5:12 says, “You have had enough time that by now you should be teachers. But you need someone to teach you again the first lessons of God's teaching. You still need the teaching that is like milk. You are not ready for solid food.”_ 

What therefore is the approved diet? You see that in our opening text: “…if you have had a taste of the grace of the LORD.”

For some it is as though they have been bewitched to forget the significance of the death, burial and resurrection of our LORD Jesus and have begun to attribute every ‘spiritual attainment’ to something they did. 

As you study the Pauline Epistles you will see that we are offsprings and products of the finished works of Christ and not people who are trying to be anything in Christ by human efforts. 

Col 2:10 “And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].”

Get yourself fed with the word of His grace that builds up your consciousness of the realities of the New Creation and gives you your inheritance with all the Saints. 

We are what we are by the grace of God. Glory!
