In this study Peter places great emphasis on submission. Of the seven words translated “servant”, the word used by Peter in chapter 2 at verse 18 is from • Greek [OIKETES] and means “Household servant”. The root word is [οἶκος] implying an inhabited house. Christians are servants of the Master Jesus who used this same word saying, “No servant can serve two masters” (Luke 16:13). Peter said Christians are – “. . . being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). There is great value in the practicing of submission, in the right place and for the glory of God. Without doubt our Savior Jesus is the greatest example that we should walk in His footsteps should be no surprise.
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:24)
