Finally
Simon Peter is going to nail it for us in 1 Peter 4. This is where ‘rubber hits
the road’... and has done for thousands upon thousands of saints faithful unto
death.
Peter saw
our Saviour suffer for us, so we should have the same mindset: ‘Don’t be
surprised guys when you cop persecution; instead be happy to God’s glory’
The time is
over for living like the world does – don’t forget, judgment awaits the living
and the dead, in fact...
“judgment must begin at the house of God”!
“judgment must begin at the house of God”!
Scripture* tells us: “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” ...so I wonder what Peter meant with:
“For this cause was the gospel preached ALSO to them that are dead.”
Maybe you know?
Is our
Saviour God so intent on saving as many as possible from a lost eternity that
we can scarcely fathom it?
Meanwhile...let’s
be sober, watchful, prayerful, hospitable, loving, using the gifts God has
given us as good stewards....
Hebrews 9:27
