Living the Blessing 1 Peter 3:13—17

Zealously pursue good works, honoring Christ as Lord, respectfully defending your hope. Spiritual Life Principle:

Be Zealous for Good- Works! Those who do good are not usually persecuted. BUT, if they are, they are blessed. Ties in to 2:12, “Keep your conduct honorable…” We are called to Good Works: Titus 2:14; Ephes. 2:10; 1 Tim. 5:25; 1 Tim. 6:18; Titus 2:7; Heb. 10:24. Be Zealous for Good- Works!

Exalt Jesus in your personal life. Do Not Live in Fear of Persecution, Matt. 10:28. RATHER, Regard Jesus as Holy in your heart, v. 15. Exalting Jesus is more than a commitment to truth. It is treating Him as holy in all our lives. Exalt Jesus in your personal life.

Be Prepared, know how to answer all men, 2 Tim. 4:3, Col. 4:6. “For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God’s will, than for doing evil.” Defend Your Hope.

Spiritual Life Principle: Declarations of Application As of today, I will be zealous to do good and to bring honor to the Name of Jesus with my life. As of today, I will develop how to defend my hope so that I will be able to respectfully answer any person. As of today, I will ask God to lead me into opportunities to do good and share my hope. As of today, I will exalt Jesus as Lord in every area of my Life. Spiritual Life Principle: Declarations of Application
