Today’s Word is a reference to our suffering and probably an encouraging message to you and me. That is, our author and finisher of our faith, Christ, also suffered for sins. So even though we suffer for righteousness’ sake, Christ suffered and paid the price of the righteousness we are in Him.
In 1 Peter 2:7-10, Apostle Peter revealed the importance of building everything on the chief cornerstone — Jesus. As a believer, you must understand this because you’re God’s chosen one, a priest and part of His holy nation.
As a child of God, let it be in your consciousness that the fact that you’re born again means you’re odd. And that oddness isn’t because of anything wrong you’ve done; it’s just because God has chosen you. For that sake, you will be persecuted. But when it happens, instead of bowing down in shame, praise God for bearing Christ’s sufferings in your body.
Just because many things are continuing the way they were after Jesus physically left the Earth doesn’t mean God’s Word of prophecy has been annulled. Take care of your spiritual health and be mindful of what you hear.
While 2 Peter 1:5-7 teaches us to cultivate seven significant things that will make us productive in our knowledge of Christ, 2 Peter 1:8-9 tells us about knowing Jesus – the benefits of abounding in such divine knowledge and the effect of neglecting it.
Since believers in Christ are looking forward to the second coming of Christ (see 2 Peter 3:12-13), there are things we can do to prepare ourselves towards that. That is, being steadfast in the Lord so we can diligently live according to His dictates in peace, without spot and blameless. From this, it’s pretty clear there’s no space for funfaring when it comes to living by the principles of God. You need to be vigilant and give no space for the devil.
Since all the things in the Earth and Earth itself will be dissolved on the second coming of Jesus Christ, there is a clarion call on each believer to be in holy conduct and godliness.
Once you are living inside a body subject to fleshly lusts, you have “sin.” In other words, you may not have sin inside you as a Christian (because your inner man is saved and renewed by the Spirit), but sin is close to you because of the presence of your sinful flesh, which can be triggered to make you do wrong things when you’re tempted. Get this well, so that you’ll not deceive yourself into thinking that you are stormproof to temptation.
As far as I know, God’s principles work no matter the changing seasons in this life. He inspired David to say what you must do if you want to love life and see good days in Psalm 34:14-17.
It’s understandable that because knowledge has increased in this generation, the young generation may be more exposed to much more information and light from scripture. But God’s word says the younger should submit to the elder. Why? Because such a grown man may have experiences in life the young generation doesn’t have. So, for the young to listen to them, they could avoid certain mistakes. However, no young person can obey this scripture if one doesn’t clothe oneself in humility. Here’s how submission and humility go hand-in-hand.
In 1 John 1:1-4, Apostle John explained that Jesus was from the beginning, confirming the truth that Jesus existed long before He appeared on earth as God’s incarnate Word. John directly heard Jesus speak, saw Him, looked upon Him and touched Him. Jesus is indeed the Word of life.
Despite the hurts, disappointments and evil things happening in our world, the Apostle Peter urges us never to turn away our focus on the grace God intends to bring to us when Jesus is revealed. Learn more it in today’s Study-Scripture article.
Verse 11 and downwards of 1 Peter chapter 2 opens a new area of teaching where Apostle Peter speaks on how the children of God ought to live in this fallen world. One of them is the necessity for a believer to abstain from fleshly lusts.
In the last study scripture article release, I spoke extensively about the deceptions of false teachers in the Body of Christ, starting from 2 Peter 2:18-19. Today, I am continuing the same series from a second part of that same Bible verse region. Let’s dive in.
1st Peter chapter 4 verses 7 to 11 covers general instructions to all believers in Christ, concerning how we ought to live careful lives and behave well to one another as we serve for God’s glory. The instructions are many. But today, by God’s grace, I’ll take them one by one and delve deeper into this article. So don’t stop here. Go ahead and read on.
Even if you made the wrong choice, God knows how to order your steps back on track for His destiny in your life. Fret not, dear one. No matter who did that bad thing to you, remember that vengeance is from the Lord.
Have you heard of the Bereans in Acts 17:10-15? Paul preached the Word powerfully to them. But they went to check the scriptures to confirm whether or not what Paul said was true. That is wisdom. It is not enough to hear the Word of God being preached. You must know God for yourself. When you know God, you will understand His ways and, therefore, not follow the destructive ways of the false prophets.
Jesus is the reliable prophetic message that is spoken about in the verse above. His Word is dependable. He’s not like men who say one thing and do another. No! Jesus, being faithful, will never flaunt His Word concerning your life.
