10-13-17 – 1Peter 2:10-12 – You Are Aliens and Strangers

“Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits.” Jesus is coming back soon! God expects us to live among the pagans and give an example of Jesus. We are expected to glorify God in our lives in such a way that others will want to become citizens of the most high Kingdom; the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

10-12-17 – 1Peter 2:7-10 – You Are a Royal Priesthood

If you have chosen Jesus, you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. Those who are in Jesus are foreigners and strangers in this world. We are a holy nation of the saved. Our citizenship does not reside in America or any place else in this world. Those who have accepted Christ are citizens of Heaven. Our life is but a fleeting moment here on earth.

10-11-17 – 1Peter 2:4-6 – The Stone the Builders Rejected

Jesus came into the world to give life to the lost. However, the world rejected him. Jesus is the cornerstone of the world, but the builders rejected him. They chose to build their house on the foundation of sin. Even though rejected by many, Jesus remains the cornerstone in which one must base his or her life on if they are going to have eternal life.

10-10-17 - 1Peter 1:20 to 2:2 – You Must Be Born Again

If you want to have everlasting life, you must be born again of the imperishable seed of Jesus Christ. Jesus came to give life to all who will accept as Lord and Savior. Denounce the perishable seed of sin and embrace eternal life in Jesus Christ.

10-9-17 – 1Peter 1:17-19 – You Are Redeemed Imperishable

If you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior you are redeemed with imperishable seed. Adam sowed the seed of the perishable, but Jesus came so that your life might be redeemed if you accept him as Lord and Savior.

10-6-17 – 1 Peter 1:14-16 – Be Holy for I Am Holy

God calls his Church to strive for holiness. It does not mean you are perfect. Rather, it means that you are striving for perfection through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. Holiness comes with the acceptance of Jesus Christ. God sees us as perfect in his Son. Nevertheless, we are still called to actively pursue perfection in our actions and our witness to the lost world that watches how we live as Christians.

10-5-17 – 1 Peter 1:8-13 – You Are Receiving the Goal of Your Faith

The more you exercise your faith, the more faith you have. Just as you place life goals, you should place faith goals. Continue to pray for God to use you in greater ways than the day before and allow God to increase your faith.

10-4-17 – 1 Peter 1:4-7 – Trials Strengthen Your Faith

Even though you experience trials, you should rejoice in the strengthening of your faith. In order to grow, God allows trials into our lives. As the trials continue, our faith grows to be able to trust God all the more for the solution. However, if you trust in anything other than God, your faith diminishes. It is only through trust in God that you can continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

10-3-17 – 1 Peter 1:1-3 We Are Strangers

We are strangers in this world. We are fellow citizens in heaven with Jesus Christ. Our first allegiance cannot be The United States of America. Nevertheless, if we are U.S. citizens we are to obey her laws, as long as they coincide with God’s law, and submit to the leadership.
