Title: A Call To Arms
Text: 1 Peter 4:1-2
Steve Robinson
1.A call to be armed with the example of Christ.
- Christ’s suffering is a vital weapon in our warfare.
- We should be willing to suffer for righteousness because:
-It is the way Christ suffered.
-Christ suffered for us.
-We are called for this purpose.
2.A call to be armed with the mind of Christ.
- Remember Christ’s submissive spirit.
- Remember Christ’s forgiving spirit.
3.A call to be armed with the victor’s character.
- A victorious sufferer ceases from sin.
-This does not suggest we will never sin again.
-We are no longer under the power of sin, but of Christ.
-Sin no longer holds the same grip on the victor since we are dead to sin and alive to God.
4.A call to be armed with the purpose of Christ.
- Christ’s purpose was to do the will of the Father.
Life is short! Pursue God’s will.
