Ep. 149 - Chosen Exiles: Do Good and Suffer for Doing Good. 1 Peter 2:13 - 3:7

New People with a New Identity: The way to bring glory to God is going to be fleshed out in the structures of culture and family life. It's important to let our salvation be fleshed out into every area of life. Do Good and Suffer for Doing Good.

Meant to Them:

- Strangers and Exiles who are citizens of Rome.

- Strangers and Exiles who are slaves.

- Strangers and Exiles who are wives.

- Strangers and Exiles who are husbands.

 

Means to Us:

- S&E who are Citizens of Rome

- Fight evil by doing good.

- S&E who are Household Slaves

- S&E who are Wives

- That God created women in His image and they have value in who they are and what they do.

- S&E who are Husbands - The point of the passage is not the fact that a woman is weaker, but rather how a husband treats his wife in any way that she is weaker.

 

Gospel Response:

- Do good.

- Push back against oppression locally and globally.

- What would Peter write to you and your family?
