A Living Hope and A Call to Holiness

1 So putting away all wrongdoing, and all tricks and deceits and envies and evil talk, 2 Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation; 3 If you have had a taste of the grace of the Lord: 4 To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God; 5 You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame. 7 And the value is for you who have faith; but it is said for those without faith, The very stone which the builders put on one side, was made the chief stone of the building; 8 And, A stone of falling, a rock of trouble; the word is the cause of their fall, because they go against it, and this was the purpose of God. 9 But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven. 10 In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you. 11 My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul; 12 Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge. 13 Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all, 14 And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well. 15 Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour: 16 As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God; 17 Have respect for all, loving the brothers, fearing God, honouring the king. 18 Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured. 19 For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done. 20 What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God. 21 This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps: 22 Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth: 23 To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness: 24 He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well. 25 Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls. — 1 Peter 1 | Bible in Basic English (BBE) The Bible in Basic English is in the public domain.

18th Psalm 91:14 - 16

1 Peter 4:12 - 19 Hard Sell Trials and Persecution 1 Peter 1:1, 2

If you don't suffer grief, then you have died before those who love and care for you.

If you don't factor suffering into your world view you are ill prepared to live in this world. Christians will suffer and your shouldn't be surprised when it happens. Any teachings to the contrary are false.

vs 13

Philippians 1:29

The people who are persecuting you see something of Jesus in you. vs 14

Matthew 5:3 - 12

We recieve the ministry of the Holy Spirit when we are suffering.

vs 15 - 18

vs 19 Commit to God.

If you don't factor in eternity you are ill prepared for suffering.

Let's Start a Fire: Encouragement in the Tribulation Mentioned in 1 Peter 1:1-9

Peter’s eschatology in the New Testament is interesting to me. It seems to go against the grain of the rest of the Bible. Throughout all of Scripture, God promises to never again destroy the world despite the wickedness of people (cf. Genesis 8:21-22). In fact, God intervenes to prevent destruction and even sends the Son to save the world rather than condemn it to destruction (cf. John 3). Even…

...BUT IS IT BEST?

How can asking the right question equip us, by God’s grace and through the Spirit’s power, to live a radical Christ-centered life? In this article, we explore what it means to live our lives by asking the question, Is it best?

How can asking the right question equip us, by God’s grace and through the Spirit’s power, to live a radical Christ-centered life? Back in the early 2000’s, when I was working at my first real job out of college as a lowly marketing guy, our company’s leadership encouraged us to read and adopt many of the flavor-of-the-day inspirational business books of that era. I learned about Good to Great,…

Easter - A Living Hope

1 Peter 1 Jesus changes everything! Because of His death and resurrection we have a living hope…a hope that’s alive because Jesus is alive and a faith that continues to grow and mature as we follow Him. We need not live a life of fear, though the world around us is shaking, we can have confidence knowing that the temporary things may fade, but the kingdom remains. So let us live as sojourners…

Why the Spirit Sanctifies the Elect

In exploring the profound question of why the Spirit sanctifies the elect, a journey through Scripture, particularly the teachings of Peter, offers enlightening insights. The heart of this theological exploration lies in understanding the sanctification of the elect as “for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood,” a statement deeply rooted in Christian tradition and Scripture. Here…

Daily Prayer for the Lord's Day: December 10, 2023

Prayer: Our God, we confess to you the struggles of this life as we pilgrim to our heavenly rest and that better country that you are preparing for all those who love you. We lament our fallen condition and mourn indwelling sin. We grieve over the sins of our lives and that of others. We do not wish to be like the wicked priests of Hosea’s day who fed on the sins of your people. Instead, O Lord,…

Only Jesus can create the peace.

People of the New Covenant

What's your timeframe? What do you value most?

Allow the grace to impact your life. Rest your hope on it.

Minds prepared for action.

Take control of your thoughts that would take your focus off Him and His second coming. There is no list of 'not do's' Fill your mind with God's expectations.

Live your life in reverant fear

Jesus Christ is the imperishable seed. He was Chosen before Creation. Revealed for all mankind. Raised from death.

Where does your hope rest?

It's About Love (1 Peter 1:17-23)

Love is wonderful. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Being on the receiving end of love is a beautiful thing. Giving love, however, can sometimes get dicey.

Statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without…
