Text: 1 Peter 2:11-17
Theme: Peter teaches us how to practice our faith in a pagan culture.
Date: 08/28/2022 File Name: 1_Peter_06 Code: NT21-02
This passage focuses on believers’ living a counter-cultural lifestyle.
The lives of Jesus’ committed followers are different from the cultures in which they live.
Our lives are shaped by grace.
In 1 Peter 2:1-10 Peter reminds believers that we are being built into God’s spiritual house and we are priests in that house.
As His new people, redeemed by His grace, we are to abandon our old lifestyle and to experience spiritual growth as we are conformed into the image of our Christ.
Now, in 1 Peter 2:11-25 the Apostle challenges believers to perform consistent good works.
We are pilgrims merely passing through this world on our way to our heavenly home.
As such we should reject the sinful desire of our former life before Christ.
We are to lead exemplary lives among the people of our society.
By doing so, they would counteract charges of misconduct leveled against them.
Their good works would cause unbelievers to glorify God when He intervenes in history and establishes His eternal Kingdom.
I. LIVE AS SOJOURNERS IN THE CULTURE
“Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.”
(1 Peter 2:11–12, ESV)
