Scripture Commentary 1 Peter 2

What does the word precious mean as it describes Christ? Who is the true Israel of God? What is it to come to Christ? Did the LORD appoint certain people to unbelief? How are Christ's people 'peculiar'? Who are the only ones who will give God all the glory in Christ? Do you have to compromise in order to tell those caught in false religion of Christ? Who are the servants of God? How does the LORD teach His own patience?
