Called to Glory | 1 Peter 5:10-11
We are called to God’s eternal glory – after a short time of trials and suffering. Press on, don’t be distracted from the end prize, the glory we will receive.
Resist the devil | 1 Peter 5:8-9
We are to resist the devil. James tells us the same thing and adds that we should first submit to God and after we resist the devil he will flee (James 4:7).
Humble ourselves | 1 Peter 5:6-7
I have found that confession of sin is a great way to humble ourselves. When we confess our sin to God, we humble ourselves before the King of the universe.
Humility garments | 1 Peter 5:5
Pride is common to all people. How well do you deal with it? Do you have a practice of putting on humility as a garment? Consider how you can humble yourself.
Shepherd the flock | 1 Peter 5:1-4
Most of us are not shepherds (dads are). How do we relate to this passage? We should see the need to support and pray for our shepherd, our pastor. Have you?
Suffering in judgment | 1 Peter 4:17-19
If we don’t also preach the judgment of God and His holiness and need to punish sin, I dare say that salvation is worthless, for from what are we saved?
Glory in suffering | 1 Peter 4:14-16
Do we experience persecution for taking on the name of Christ? Are there people who look down on you or even revile you in public / to your face?
Glory for trials | 1 Peter 4:12-13
Do you find it amazing that we should receive any glory, sinners such as we are before a righteous, holy God?! And how does it compre to man’s glory?
