“This is the True Grace of God”

30 minutes

[Sorry, no audio recording due to technical difficulties. -MRW]

I Peter 5:12 – “this is the true grace of God”

Let’s see what this letter about grace contains:

I Peter 1:17 – impartially judges according to each one’s work

I Peter 3:7 – you husbands … so that your prayers will not be hindered

I Peter 3:10-13 – Lord is against those who do evil

I Peter 4:4-6 – they will give account to Him who is ready to judge

Hebrews 9:27

I Peter 5:5 – God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble

I Peter 3:21 – baptism now saves you

It’s always important to look at the bigger context and not just focus on certain phrases.

I Peter 1:1-2 – God knew ahead of time who would obey, thus becoming the type of people God had chosen to save.

I Peter 2:6-8 – Either people would accept or reject Christ (the stone) – those are the only two options. And the results are appointed. If you accept Him, you won’t be disappointed. If you reject Him, He’ll be a stone of stumbling and rock of offense to you. Those results are what’s predetermined.

So, what does this mean for me?

Get into God’s Word!

I Peter 1:10-13, 22-25; 2:1-3

Obey!

I Peter 2:13, 17-18, 24; 3:8-9; 4:1-2; 5:2, 8-10

Influence others!

I Peter 2:11-12; 3:1; 3:15-16
