(Amplified)
Like newborn babies you should crave (thirst for, earnestly desire) the pure (unadulterated) spiritual milk, that by it you may be nurtured and grow unto [completed] salvation, since you have [already] tasted the goodness and kindness of the Lord.
Why does it say completed salvation? You see, this is a process. First you are justified, then sanctified, then glorified. Read more here.
John 17:17 tells us that we are sanctified by God's Word, so then shouldn't we be craving more of God's Word all the time? I don't know about you, but I could use some more sanctification! None of us will be fully sanctified until Christ returns. (Phil. 1:6)
