Built

"You yourselves are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood," 1 Peter 2:5.

You, who? You, who have been born again to a living hope through Jesus's resurrection. You, who love him even if you have not seen him. You, who believe in him even if you have not seen him. You, who heard the announcement of the Good News. (What announcement? The preaching of the gospel.) You, who were ransomed from futile ways with the precious blood of Christ. God's spiritual house. New temple. New dwelling place of God in the Spirit. New covenant.

We visit with a brother or sister, priests and priestesses serving as God's new temple on earth. And together we offer sacrifices of thanksgiving to our God and his Christ.
