Sermon – Godly Living to the Glory of God - 1 Peter 2:11-12 Who we are: What we are called to do (by God's enabling): Why: Why does Peter ground his call to godly living in the believers' identity in Christ? How does their identity remind them of God's grace to them? How does this passage teach that Christians should not isolate themselves from unbelievers? What unbelievers has God placed in your life? How can you engage them? Does God call us to declare the Gospel or display the Gospel? Or both? How does our conduct impact our message? How is God glorified through our holy living?
