Because believers are priests before God (I Peter 2:5, 9), this is a spiritual picture of a carnal Christian who is saved by the blood of Jesus and has been cleansed by the Word of God but is still walking (living his life) according to the ways of the natural (the earth).
Porque los creyentes son sacerdotes delante de Dios (1ª Pedro 2:5, 9), esto es un cuadro espiritual de un cristiano carnal que es salvo por la sangre de Jesús y ha sido limpiado por la Palabra de Dios pero todavía sigue andando (vive su vida) conforme a los caminos de lo natural (la tierra).
