We see in 1 Peter 1:13-21 that Peter issues a call to action in light of our position as dual citizens of heaven and earth. Practically, Christians can balance our dual citizenship by: 1. Sober-mindedly following Christ; 2. Being conformed to the holiness of Christ; 3. Living as though we were ransomed by Christ; and 4. Placing our faith and hope in the God who saved us.
This sermon series in 1 Peter will encourage, instruct and challenge Christians to live as citizens of the kingdom of heaven while remaining as citizens of the kingdom of man. The scriptures will speak to questions such as: Who are we? How much should we be like or unlike the world? How do we respond when we experience suffering?
