While water killed evil people in the Old Testament during flood, today in Christ, the water, which is the Word of God, saves us and gives us a good conscience toward God.
In 1 Peter 1:22-25 NKJV, the Apostle Peter teaches about how we can love one another fervently with a pure heart in Christ. As children of God, this is possible, but requires spiritual maturity.
To sanctify the Lord God in your heart means to revere Him every single time, whether man recognises it or not. That is why as a believer, doing the right thing at all times will amaze others. But such is your life.
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.
In the last study scripture article, I spoke about how God is about to punish false prophets and preachers who are moving around and using His name to do deviant
In the world of work, many people complain about how bad their bosses are. Some want to enjoy freedom at the workplace, doing whatever they like with company resources without fulfilling the tasks the company hired them to do. And this has made several workplaces lack hardworking and loyal employees who rarely don’t need supervision to do what they are supposed to do. Apostle Peter nails this behaviour hard with three scriptures: 1 Peter 2:18-20. Delve into today’s study scripture article, which speaks of why you should submit to your boss no matter what.
From 1 Peter 2:13 – 3:7, the Apostle Peter expounded on the various types of submissions we believers must give to one another. And in today’s study scripture article release, I want to focus on 1 Peter 2:13-17, where Peter explains why a believer ought to submit himself to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake.
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.
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.
“… for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.” Really, that statement got me thinking a lot. But upon careful analysis of what the Apostle was writing, it is true. Let’s delve deeper into these three initial verses of 1 Peter chapter 4.
I want to tell you that there is a process between the time you pray when God reveals His promise to you in bits and when you see those promises materialise. You can’t get everything God promises you the moment He reveals to you. It takes time to fulfil a promise you make to someone, even as a human. How much more God?
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.
We children of God, were called not just to believe in Jesus but also to suffer for his sake (see Philippians 1:29). That means it’s erroneous to think there’s no suffering for you when you come to Christ. There is, but since Jesus becomes the author and finisher of your faith, no situation will be able to weigh you down in life.
God has begotten you to a living hope because there’s an inheritance He has stored up for you, even as you endure your afflictions in the Lord Jesus for His kingdom’s sake. That inheritance is in two folds – the earthly one and the heavenly one.
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.
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.
Godly marriage is a reflection of the relationship Jesus has with the Church. So, if a husband doesn’t love and relate to his wife like Jesus does with the Church, God’s system is under compromise. And since God never changes, He would prefer to discipline you for you to come back to your senses instead of compromising to accommodate your wrong character. Learn how the Bible explains how important it is for believing husbands to live with their wives with understanding.
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.
