8 Reminders

In today's passage we are given 8 reminders for life and living in Christ. The text is 1 Peter 1:17-21


17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

1. God judges each of us impartially

2. Tradition does not “save us”

3. Redeemed by the blood of Christ

4. Live in reverent awe

5. We are foreigners

6. Christ was planned before the creation of the world

7. Christ raised and glorified

8. Live in hope and faith

It is all for us. Every drop of blood was given so that we might have life … abundant and free. All of these reminders are so that we can be everything God created us to be.

Thought For Today
The destination directs the steps of our journey.
