1. Devotion to God’s Word
1 Peter 1:23-25 (NIV) 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For,
“All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord stands
forever.”
And this is the word that was preached to you.
