1 Peter: Is All of This Worth It?Sample

Freedom is something every generation since the beginning of time has been trying to achieve. It’s something that means one thing to the world, but something entirely different to the Christian. We have freedom from death because of Jesus’s death on the cross. Peter wants the church to step into this freedom so that they can both love and serve God and love and serve others. We are set free to love and live like Jesus. Regardless of what we face on here on earth, no matter the shackles that bind us, Jesus has set us free. Forever. When we set our sights on heaven, that is the only freedom that matters.

ASK:

-Why do you think it is important for the church to be reminded of its true freedom?

-How do these passages about freedom in Christ help you to live confidently in a world that is less and less accepting of the Christian lifestyle?

TAKE A NEXT STEP:

It’s a sobering reality is that so many people around the world still do not live with any sense of freedom. They live every day in bondage. Schedule time today to pray for these people. Take it a step further and put in a reminder on your phone to pray daily for the next month for enslaved people around the globe.
