1 Peter 4

In our last episode, Peter spoke to the church about suffering, pointing to Christ who suffered during his life that he might gain a heavenly reward. Rather than living according to fleshly desires, Christ lived for God’s will; likewise, we are instructed to put aside fleshly desires and be done with sin. Instead, we are to live in such a way that we are wholly dependent on the Lord for each action. As we live for Christ, Peter warns that we should not be alarmed when persecution comes, for even Christ was persecuted during his lifetime, and we should expect no less. During such suffering, we are instructed to entrust ourselves to a faithful Creator while doing what is good.:::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
