Obeying The Truth 1 Peter 1:22-25

Identity Of Truth It is “the word of God” (v. 23) The “arm” of God’s power (Rom. 1:16) It is “living and abiding” (cf. Heb. 4:12)

Jesus, the Son of the living God (Matt. 16:16) Has delivered the living word (1 Peter 1:23) Which produces a living hope (1 Peter 1:3

Identity Of Truth It is “the word of God” (v. 23) The “arm” of God’s power (Rom. 1:16) It is “living and abiding” (cf. Heb. 4:12) It is an “incorruptible/imperishable seed” (v. 23) “BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ABIDES FOREVER." And this is the word which was preached to you” (v. 25) A seed has the ability (power) to produce years after it is taken up

Importance Of Truth It “purifies the soul” (v. 22) People today are greatly concerned about clean water, air, food, etc. What about clean hearts, pure minds? Sin defiles (Titus 1:15) The word of Jesus brings cleansing (Jn. 15:3). Instrumental in being “born again” (v. 23) Question: “Are you a born again Christian?” Is there another kind? See what Jesus taught on this (Jn. 3:1-10)

Incentives To Obey The Truth “Flesh is as grass” (v. 24) Our lives are short (James 4:14) Each day we draw closer to eternity (2 Cor. 4:16) Glory of man is fleeting (v. 24) Too much glory in self soon fades (Lk. 18:9; 2 Cor. 10:12) Glory with God never fails, never fades (Col. 1:27; 1 Peter 5:4)
