Scriptural Confirmations #9
9. 7. The Lord who is a living stone, rejected by men, chosen of God, precious, that ye also as living stones may be built up into a spiritual house, to the unbelieving He is a stone of stumbling (1 Peter 2:4-8).
Acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5). He is called the Shepherd and Bishop of souls (1 Peter 2:25).
Jesus Christ, after He went into heaven was on the right hand of God; angels, authorities, and powers being subject unto Him (1 Peter 3:22).
That God may be glorified by Jesus Christ (1 Peter 4:11). God and Jesus our Lord (1 Peter 1:2; 2 Peter 1:1; James 1:1). The eternal kingdom of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 1:11; 3:2).
The knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:8; 2:20).
Of the glorification of the Lord seen by the three disciples upon the mount (2 Peter 1:17-18).
1 Peter 2:4-8
4
To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7
Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8
And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
