The Apostle Peter writes to the Christian refugees of his day and helps them understand that their condition does not dictate their identity and in order for believers to grow up in our salvation we must recognize our office and duty unto God. We are a are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, therefore we must proclaim the excellencies of him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.

How do we get along even though we disagree. Paul lays out the spirit of Chris's love and edification is the key for brothers to dwell together in unity.

We are justified from our sins by the blood of Jesus. Our own justifications will not work in the presence of God. We may be ignorant of our sin or even weak in our fight for righteousness, but what of those who willfully sin before God? Let’s not be deceived God is not mocked we will reap what we sow. How can we come clean before God?

We are to be subject and give honor to the ruling authoritiesin our lives. Through this we will transform the world through a demonstration of the love of Christ for all.

Romans 12 calls us to live as a living sacrifice through the renewing of the mind. In this the world will know we are Sons of God.

The plan of God is to choose the weakest, poorest and most foolish to build His Kingdom so that no man can boast. Jesus has become our strength, our wisdom and our richest asset for life. He is made strong in us when we are perfectly weak.
