Did you know the Bible likens milk to the Word of God?

The Apostle Peter talks about laying down bad attitudes/vices and, like a baby, to desire the milk of the Word in order to grow (ref 1Pe 2:2). Newborn babies drink milk because they are not yet at a point where they are able to eat solid food since their digestive system is not mature enough. They also don’t have teeth, therefore, are not able to chew and break down hard foods.

Milk is the Greek word gala and it is used metaphorically regarding the less difficult Christian truths.

The ‘milk of the word’ is symbolic of truths/teachings or instructions that are easier to understand for new believers.

Do you understand the difference between the milk and the meat of the Word?
