1 Peter 3:18

For Christ also suffered once for sin…

 

Fulfilled Purpose: It is Finished

Christ suffered that He might bring us to God

1 Peter 3:18

 

Redeeming Sacrifice of Christ

He was not murdered. He was murdered.

He laid down His life

 

His suffering, those similar to martyrs was different

It completed a work

 

The difference:

What martyrdom can’t do.

Martyrdom is a final proclamation that continues to echo. 

 

Bring: Access: Restore

 

Romans 5:2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 

Eph. 2:18  For through Him we have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

 

Jesus preach to the spirits in prison

1 Peter 3:19-20

 

The Antitype of Baptism

Noah and the Ark

Antitype:

An echoing, reflecting, type, representative, figure, like in pattern,

 

Beautifully defined as:

A bridge between shadow and substance, a promise in a prophetic picture and realized Grace.

 

The world washed, the Ark provided salvation passage

 

The picture of baptism is the old dies in the new becomes

1 Peter 3:20-22

 

Responsible Grace Benefactors:

1 Peter 4

 

Therefore!

Ties these thoughts of the previous chapter:

Christ suffered for us

Arm yourselves also with the same mind
