Living Finished (Click Here for Resources)

Passage: 1 Peter 4:1-11

Speaker: Brian Land

Series: 1 Peter

Category: Grace Brevard

Keywords: love, holiness, power, obedience, glory, connection, born again, flesh and spirit. renewed, service. 

This is the everyday practice of "Be Holy because I am holy" - to be set apart and distinct from "the world" not finding our life and satisfaction in what feels good in the short term but finding our Hope in Christ who has transformed us into new creations, imputing into us the Spirit who gives life that will not fade away. Though the list begins with the behaviors we are to avoid, the real key is not behavioral management but connected with Jesus through prayer, which is displayed through "loving one another earnestly", being connected with one another ("hospitality") and serving God's Kingdom ("gifts") through the "strength that God supplies."
