“3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification:
that you abstain from sexual immorality;” 1
Thessalonians 4:3
An Overview 1 Peter; “The same great doctrines, as in St.
Paul's epistles, are here applied to same practical purposes. And this
epistle is remarkable for the sweetness, gentleness, and humble love, with
which it is written. It gives a short, and yet a very clear summary, both of
the consolations and the instructions needful for the encouragement and
direction of a Christian in his journey to heaven, raising his thoughts and
desires to that happiness, and strengthening him against all opposition in
the way, both from corruption within, and temptations and afflictions
without.” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of 1 Peter Chapter 1; “The
apostle blesses God for his special benefits through Christ. (1-9) Salvation
by Christ foretold in ancient prophecy. (10-12) All
are exhorted to holy conversation. (13-16) Such
as is suitable to their principles, privileges, and obligations. (17-25)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
Peter
greets the exiles in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, (see 1-peter
1:1-9) you have never seen Jesus yet your faith in Him saved you. Some prophets
told how kind God would be to you (see
1
Peter 1:10-12) and because of your faith the Holy Spirit has revealed Jesus
to you. You have been chosen to live a
holy life (see 1
Peter 1:13-16) as Jesus who called
you is holy, you also be holy. God judges
all people by what they do (see 1
Peter 1:17-25) because you obeyed the truth, your souls were made pure; “24
for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word of the Lord remains
forever." And this word is the good news that was preached to you. ” James 5:19-20 English Standard
Version (ESV). Because we are saved by
the blood of Christ (see
John
14:21) our conscience has
been cleared to serve the living God. We have been ransomed to serve Jesus; “18
And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And
behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."” Matthew 28:18-20 ESV. We must let everyone including God’s chosen people know that
Jesus is the Messiah (see Acts
2:36) and that God has made
him both Lord and Christ. There are still only two
choices (see Luke
16:13) every person will
choose between Jesus and the world.
Can you hear Jesus calling you? Do you want to live a holy
life? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?
