Craving the word of God 1 Peter 1:22-2:3

The Apostle Peter teaches in this passage that the living and enduring word of God has the power to give new birth. As newborn infants crave milk, so believers in Jesus should crave pure spiritual milk, i.e., the word of God, which is able to grow into their salvation. Why do newborn infants crave their mothers’ milk? Because it is nourishing and tastes good! Similarly, those who are truly born of God will crave the nourishment of the word of God because they have tasted that the Lord is good.
