THE MINDSET OF EXCELLENCE Studies in 1 Peter

Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 1:13).

Gird up the loins of your mind To gird up is to tie up a robe with a belt around one’s waist. The figure suggests the idea of removing any mental impairment to our spiritual activity or progress!

Things which may tangle us up: Timidity or fear For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)

Prejudice Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so. (Acts 17:11)

Worldly concerns “And the seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. (Luke 8:14)

Be sober Soberness is freedom from the influence of intoxicants in a physical sense. Soberness is to be calm, collected in spirit, temperate, dispassionate, circumspect

Soberness is awareness of how Satan is seeking inroads into our lives. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. (1 Peter 5:8)

Soberness is a condition of heart that prepares us for consistent prayer. The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. (1 Peter 4:7)

Fix your hope completely on the grace to come to you at the revelation of Christ The revelation of Christ is the final coming of Jesus. The grace that is to come is salvation or eternal life. He “has caused us to be born again to a living hope…” (1 Peter 1:3)

Fix your hope on heaven! “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; (Matthew 6:19-20)

Make up your mind that you want to go to heaven and live for that without ever turning back! But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)

1 Pet 1:13 sets the stage for all that we are as Christians. Salvation means making the commitment to grow, to be active, to get involved, to be serious and not distracted by life from the important things, and to make the commitment to go heaven regardless of the cost.
