1st Peter

Prepare Your Minds for Action

1 Peter 1:13-25

 

How do we prepare our minds for action?

- “Be holy in everything you do.” (vs. 15)

 

You can move every aspect of your life under the holiness of God:

1) Practice self-control. (vs. 13a)

a. Be intentional about life. (Deuteronomy 30:15-20)

2) Put your hope in Christ. (vs. 13b)

a. Hope – The anticipation of something desired actually happening.

b. Fear – The anticipation of something undesired actually happening.

3) Live as obedient children. (vs. 14)

a. Love God with all of your heart, soul, strength, and mind. (Luke 10:27)

b. Love each other deeply. (vs. 22)

 

Final Thought: Prepare your mind for action because God wants to do something in and through you to glorify Jesus and reach a lost and dying world.
