1 Peter 2:8-10

And the Scriptures also say,

"He is the stone that makes people stumble,

the rock that will make them fall."

They stumble because they do not listen to God's word or obey it, and so they meet the fate that has been planned for them.

9 But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests, God's holy nation, his very own possession. This is so you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. 

10 "Once you were not a people;

now you are the people of God.

Once you received none of God's mercy;

now you have received his mercy." (NLT)

 

To those who do not believe Jesus He is a stumbling block to them, they will not obey God or even listen to God’s word. Yet you must continue sharing the gospel despite their ignorance to the gospel, for in doing so they will be without excuse.

But you are not like that, you are chosen, you are a priest and you have been saved to be Jesus’ own possession to glorify Him. You are a wonderful light unto this dark world to share the gospel with whoever will here and receive Jesus.
