1 Peter 1:23 · KJV

"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."

King James Version

Passage Context

²¹Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

²²Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

²³Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

²⁴For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

²⁵But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHopeAwe

Words are important! They can hurt, maim, and weaken. They can also bless, uplift, and move people. When these words come from God, they mean even more. God's Word, which is found in the Bible and the Gospel, is not only true but also gives life. God's Word is alive and lasts forever. It gives us life and tells us how to live forever. It tells us about His grace and shows us how to start over. Let's not take it for granted, ignore its message, or stay quiet about what it says is true.

Prayer

God, who is both powerful and eternal, thank you for speaking to us in words we can understand. Thank you for your Gospel, which tells us about Jesus and how you save us through Him. Please feed my desire to learn more about your Word and live it more fully. Thank you for giving me a reliable, stable, and lasting source of truth. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
