获取软件1 Peter: Is All of This Worth It?预览
Throughout this letter, Peter is reminding the Gentile Church that living a remarkable life in the midst of suffering brings glory to God. In this section, Peter outlines four relationships that sometimes require submission and suffering.
1-Christians are called to submit to the government.
2-Peter also speaks specifically to slaves in this section and reminds them that their submission in the workplace glorifies God.
3-Marriage is another area that Peter is calling the Christian church into a mutual submission between husbands and wives.
4-Finally, he’s calling for submission within the church itself. Remember – this submission isn’t about control, it’s about honoring others and bringing glory to God.
ASK:
-How do you see themes of submission and suffering play out in these passages?
-Do you truly believe that Jesus is greater than anything you might encounter in this life?
TAKE A NEXT STEP:
Use this doxology (a short hymn of praises to God) as your prayer today
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below
Praise Him above the Heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Amen

In many areas of today’s world it is not easy being a Christian. We need to ask, is it worth being identified as a follower of Christ? If so, how should we live in a world that rejects us? The early church was asking these questions, too. They were the target of jokes, rumors, discrimination and persecution. God answered and encouraged them through 1 Peter, as He will for us!
