In 1 Peter 1:22-2:3, we see that even in the hardships of life Christians can be people whose lives are characterized by love. There are two truth principles here. First, without the new birth –the transformation that occurs through belief in the gospel – people are incapable of truly living out Christian love. The second principle is that love is the acid test of Christian faith.
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?
