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
