War & Glory!
1 Peter 2:11-12
Theme: Should our culture grow more hostile it would be of utmost importance for those who are unbelieving to see within us: A touch of joy that is real, a heart that is happy, a conviction that is clear, a conversation that is consistent, and a behavior that is bold. On every given day we should live life in light of a salvation that is so great!
I. THE INSPIRATION FOR CHALLENGE v11
II. THE MOTIVATION FROM THIS CHALLENGE v11
III. THE CONDUCT IN THIS CHALLENGE v12
A. Conversation
B. Accusations
C. Observation
D. Visitation
Point to Ponder:
When these unbelievers do trust Christ, they will glorify God and give thanks because we were faithful to witness to them even when they made life difficult for us.
Real Reality:
Peter knows that opposition of the unbelieving world will arise, it will not be limited to gossip, slander, or hatred. Christians will be accused in the courts; false charges will lead to imprisonment and even death. At this point Peter had escaped the sword of Herod, but he would not escape the perverse hatred of Nero.
Question: What is the Day of Visitation?
