Thoroughly Good Christians 1 Peter 2:11-25

In a word… Nice vs. Good

Theology of “Nice” Christians Matthew Matthew 25:21 His master said to him, 'Well done, good good and faithful faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.' It It becomes: “What “What a nice servant! You’re really nice. I don’t have any responsibility for you. Enter into the joy of your master.” ?!

God is not interested in NICE Christians. He wants GOOD ones.

Message in a phrase: God wants GOOD Christians GOOD Christians THOROUGHLY good Christians THOROUGHLY good Christians Thoroughly good CHRISTIANS Thoroughly good CHRISTIANS

GOOD Christians 11x in 55 verses! 1 Peter 2:12 they may see your GOOD deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. 2:14 to praise those who do GOOD. 2:15 For this is the will of God, that by doing GOOD you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. 2:20 But if when you do GOOD and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 3:6 And you are her children, if you do GOOD and do not fear anything that is frightening.

GOOD Christians 3: 11 let him turn away from evil and do GOOD; 3:13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is GOOD? 3:16 those who revile your GOOD behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 3:17 For it is better to suffer for doing GOOD, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil. 4: 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as GOOD stewards of God's varied grace 4: 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing GOOD

GOOD Christians 1: 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed (squeezed) to the passions… 2: 1 So put away all (vs. seized) malice and … 2:11 Beloved, I urge you… to abstain (“pretty pleased”) from the passions of the flesh Don’t be squeezed, seized or pretty pleased back into fleshly passions!
