Today we are going into 1 Peter 4 now there are three points of interest we will discover.
Part one of this series:
• Christ’s example to be followed
Part two of this series:
• Serving for God’s Glory
Part three of this series:
• Suffering for God’s Glory
Hello again and welcome, our first topic today will be “Christ’s example to be followed”. We will be reading 1 Peter 4: 1- 6. So if you have your bibles please read along.
4 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 4 In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 5 They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
Point 1- A warning that if you’re a child of God you will suffer and you should be ready as in the same mid of Jesus Christ. So by suffering in flesh you ceased in sin.
Point 2- You leave your old life and be reborn in Christ as a new person and live the will of God.
Point 3- These people that you once ran with you will speak evil of you but they will be judged.
Point 4- The Gospel will be preached to the dead as well as the living in Christ Jesus. Through their will that they might have intervention with God and be saved.
One thing I do want to point out is that every time I read this chapter the holy spirit is giving me more messages thru it. So it's different each time, a different message. That's amazing to me!
This has been part one in this series. I hoped that you were fed well and blessed by todays message.
Let’s pray:
My loving father in Heaven thank you for the wisdom and love that you give us. Please open our eyes to the message that you gave us today. Have us realize we are here for your glory alone.
I pray this in your holy name Jesus Christ Amen
