Enough Is Enough! 1 Peter 4:1-5

Enough Is Enough! God Has DECLARED, “Enough Is Enough!” (4:1-3a) Spent enough time doing the will of man God declares, you’ve “…CEASED from sin” (4:1) God declares, “NO LONGER live in the flesh for the lusts of men” (4:2) God declares, you’ve “spent ENOUGH time in the past doing the will of man” (4:3) The perfect tense (ceased, past, doing) emphasizes that part of their life is over, done, closed (and needs to remain so) Spend the rest of time doing the will of God (4:2)

Enough Is Enough! Christians Must Have DETERMINATION, “Enough Is Enough!” (4:3) Enough “Lewdness” (cf. Gal. 5:19; Rom. 13:13; 2 Cor. 12:21) Enough “Lusts” (cf. 1 Pet. 2:11-12; Rom. 13:14; 1 Thess. 4:3-5) Enough “Drunkenness” (cf. Eph. 5:18; Rom. 13:13; Gal. 5:21) Enough “Revelries” (cf. Rom. 13:13; Gal. 5:21) Enough “Drinking Parties” (cf. 1 Thess. 5:5-8) Enough “Abominable Idolatries” (cf. Col. 3:5; 1 John 5:21)

Enough Is Enough! The World DENIES That “Enough Is Enough!” (4:4) They are surprised and offended that you do not join them They blaspheme and malign you with intent to hurt you They recognize a change in you and they don’t like it One Day God Will DECIDE, “Enough Is Enough!” (4:5) Judgment is coming (cf. Heb. 9:27) – The Judge is ready! All shall give an account (cf. 2 Cor. 5:10) – Are you ready?
