“Focus on the Prize”
                           1 Peter 1:13-25

  •   Fix your eyes on Jesus: Heb. 12:2

      Three Keys to focusing on the Prize:

1.         Be Ready 

  •  Tighten your belt: Eph 6:14

       Readiness Requires:

      1)   Obedience:          1John 5:2-3

      2)      Non-conformity:  Rom 12:2

      3)      Enlightenment:    Acts 17:30

2.         Be Holy

  •  We need to imitate our Father: Eph. 5:1
  • God is light not darkness: 1 John 1:5-6

      Motivations for Holiness:

        1)  Accountability: Our hope brings accountability as well  as triumph. 

  • We will be judged in two ways:

            A.           Are we real believers? Mt. 7:21-23
            B.          Were we good stewards: 1 Cor. 3:13-15

         2)  Redemption:  bought out of slavery.

  • The worlds system is futile: Mt. 16:26
  •  The lamb of God: John 1:29
  • God planned our redemption: Isaiah 42:1
  • God gave his all for you: Phil 2:6-8
  • Jesus is our bridge across the chasm:  Rom 10:9”

3.         Be Loving 

  •  Obeying the truth is the heart of the gospel: Rom 1:5
  • They need to take love to a whole new level: 1 John 5:1-2
  • The Word is alive: Heb 4:12
