1 Peter 3
The Worlds we live in
The Power of Suffering
Standing strong, when good is returned with evil
Suffering for righteousness sake.
Are we mentally and spiritually equipped for rejection
Are we raising up our kids that are equipped for this.
Commands for Christians
1Peter 3:8
Be one of mind 3:8
Have compassion on one another
Love as brethren
Be tenderhearted
Be courteous, friendly
1Peter 3:9
Not returning evil for evil
Not railing for railing
Be a blessing to others
1Peter 3:10
Control the tongue
Do not be deceptive
1Peter 3:11
Shun evil and do good
Seek peace and pursue it
Keep your tongue from evil
Keep your lips from deceit
1Peter 3:12
Loving life and seeing good days
Blessings for righteousness
God's eyes are over them.
God hears their prayers.
God defeats their enemies.
1Peter 3:13-17
When doing good is returned with evil
How?
Stand righteously
Know you are blessed
Fear not in the threatenings
Be not troubled
Here’s the biggie:
But, Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts
Always be ready to give a defense
!!! This is interesting!!!
A) To everyone who asks you a reason
B) for the hope that you have
You have to have a living hope for it to be seen
!!! Even more interestingly!!!
With meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
!!!! Interestingly X3 !!!
…If it is the will of God
We can always have hope in what He allows-We are Never Alone
Our true identity
As Christians, we are labeled
Redeemed
Forgiven
Accepted in the Beloved
Training our minds and our kids with who we are in Christ:
God’s great love for us, we have been adopted into the beloved and made co-heirs with Christ.
