1 Peter 5
Beloved….Commit your soul
Casting all your cares upon Christ
1 Peter 1:1-2
Opening greeting
Address to:
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father
God‘s choice by freely receiving faith in Christ
In Sanctification of the Spirit
Set aside for a specific, divine purpose
For obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ
A call to a moral distinctiveness and holiness.
1 Peter 1:2-12
Opening statement:
Through Mercy, He has begotten us to a living Hope
Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
To an inheritance, incorruptible and undefiled
Reserved in Heaven
We are kept by the power of God through Salvation
For Salvation ready to be revealed
Though now for a little while, we are grieved by various trials
We are being refined
Being found to the praise, honor and glory…
Of the revelation of Jesus Christ
Whom: (by Faith) having not seen you love
Though now (by Faith) you do not see Him, yet believe, rejoice, and are full of His glory
Vss.10-12
Of this salvation: prophets have deeply researched
And Angels desire to look into.
Vss. 13-end of the Letter:
An instructional outline for Holy living in a hostile world
Hope in the midst of suffering in this temporal life
A letter that is informing, exhorting, and encouraging
A letter to encourage all to press in life, be faithful, stand firm
A letter overflowing with descriptions of our Salvation in Jesus Christ and the glory and splendor of His great gift of Salvation
A solid description of who we are in Jesus Christ, and…
What and how we are called to libe like in/for Jesus Christ.
