Living Hope in a Suffering World: A Guided Reading of 1 PeterNäide

Verses to Memorize: 1 Peter 4:7-8
Summary:
Christ’s victory over sin and death establishes God as the ultimate Judge of the living and the dead. As a result, believers are to live in purity distinct from the world, in prayer unshaken by suffering, and in love and service to one another within the church.
Questions To Ponder:
How do each of Peter’s commands in verses 7-11 relate to the end of all things being near? Do you see any recurring themes in these commands?
How have you seen love cover a multitude of sins in your own life?
Peter declares that each one of us has received a spiritual gift. Do you know what gift(s) the Lord has given you to serve Him? If so, what are they? If not, we have provided you with an assessment tool on our website at Spiritual Gifts Survey Questionnaire.
How do you currently exercise your gifts in the service of others?
