• The purpose of a living stone is to be built up as a spiritual house.

THE LIVING CHIEF CORNERSTONE

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 2:6-8

LIVING BEFORE THE WORLD

• Abstaining from lusts will help us maintain a good testimony among men.

SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITIES

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 2:13-25

13. Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, 

14. Or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. 

15. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— 

16. As free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. 

17. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

18. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. 

19. For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. 

20. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. 

21. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

22. “Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth”

23. Who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; 

24. Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. 

25. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

TAKEAWAYS:

• We are to submit to authorities for God’s sake.
• Although we are not destined to live under the authority of men forever, we must submit to our authorities while we are pilgrims on earth.
• In Christ we are free, we can live in God’s liberty (we are no longer slaves).
• We can’t use the liberty we have in Christ as an excuse to sin or to dishonor God.
• In God’s eyes it is commendable to endure suffering wrongfully.
• Loving those who love us is easy, but loving those who mistreat us is commendable.
• Jesus left us the best example to follow. Jesus:
  • Suffered for doing good – did not return evil for evil.
  • Loved those who rejected Him.
  • Did not threaten when suffering.
  • Committed Himself to God who judges righteously.
  • Bore our sins in His body & healed us.
  • Drew us near to the Father – like sheep to their shepherd.

A WORD TO WIVES

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 3:1-6

1. Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 

2. When they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 

3. Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 

4. Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 

5. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 

6. As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

TAKEAWAYS:

• PROPER CONDUCT: Our conduct can win people over to Christ.
• BEAUTY: We must prioritize our interior beauty because this kind of beauty is precious in the sight of God.

A WORD TO HUSBANDS

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 3:7

7. Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Husbands are advised to follow Christ’s example:
  • Live with your wife with understanding (understand her needs, desires, and goals)
  • Honor your wife (treat your wife with love and respect)
  • Consider your wife as a “weaker vessel” not as a “lesser vessel” (treat your wife with care)
• What happens in your relationship can affect your relationship with God, so be understanding, considerate, and give honor.

CALLED TO BE BLESSED

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 3:8-12

8. Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 

9. Not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. 

10. For “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

11. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.

12. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

15. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 

16. Having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 

17. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

TAKEAWAYS:

• God’s protection: If you follow the right path, no one can harm you

19. By whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 

20. Who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 

21. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

OUR SUFFERING

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 4:1-6

2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. 

3. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. 

4. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. 

5. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 

6. For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

  • Abdominale idolatries
• Jesus suffered in the flesh to leave us the perfect example.

• It’s important to please God and not men because everyone will give account to God (the real judge)

SERVING FOR GOD’S GLORY

SCRIPTURE: 1 PETER 4:7-11

7. But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 

8. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

10. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 

11. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

16. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

17. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?
