What does 1 Peter say about our identity in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

1 Peter teaches that believers are living stones, part of a holy priesthood and a spiritual house built on Christ.

In 1 Peter 2:5, Peter describes believers as 'living stones' being built up into a spiritual house, indicating that their identity is intricately linked to Christ, the cornerstone. This imagery emphasizes that Christians are not only saved individuals but also active participants in a spiritual community that offers worship and service to God. Furthermore, being part of a 'royal priesthood' signifies that every believer has access to God and is called to present spiritual sacrifices acceptable to Him through Jesus Christ. This profound transformation from being separated from God to becoming part of His holy temple is a key aspect of our new identity in Him.
