Seeking Holiness (1 Peter 1:1-16)
Rehearsing Our Salvation (1:1-5)
Rejoicing in Our Salvation (1:6-12)
– Even though you’re suffering (1:6-7)
– Even though you don’t see Him (1:8-12)
Responding to Our Salvation (1:13-16)
– Set Your Hope Fully (1:13)
Therefore…
Set Your Hope Fully
“hope” – Confident Assurance
“to the end” – Fully, Completely, All
“grace” – Your Salvation
How?
1. Prepare Your Mind
2. Focus Your Mind
– Not Distracted
– Not Addicted
Seek Holiness Continually
“Holy”
- Pure, perfect, without sin
- Set apart, devoted, dedicated, consecrated
1. Holiness based on our family status
2. Holiness that rejects the past (1 John 2:15-17)
3. Holiness grounded in God’s character (Isaiah 6:3; Leviticus 11:44-45)
4. Holiness that impacts all of life (1 Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 10:5)
– In all manner of conversation
– In all your conduct
– In all your behavior
– In all you do
5. Holiness that is woven through all the Scriptures
How do I Respond?
– Are you actively working to discipline your mind?
– Are you living in obedience? If not, why not?
– Are there any areas in your life that are more closely aligned with the world’s desire that God’s holiness?
– Is there any conduct that needs to change?
– Have your received salvation?
