1 Peter

This week, we studied both 1 Peter and Philippians. Following these discussions, we were given the opportunity to pick one of these two books to write and outline on. I chose 1 Peter. You are probably wondering why…

You see, 1 Peter was so much more real to me. Real in 2 distinct ways.

1- Salvation comes in 3 tenses: Past, Present, and Future. The past tense explaining that was are pronounced innocent. This is justification. The future tense is when we go and be with the Lord. This is Glorification. And the middle, the present tense, is everything in-between. This is sanctification.

2 - Assurance is talked about in 4 different ways in 1 Peter. We see assurance defined in 1 Peter 1:3-12,  assurance lived in 1 Peter 1:13-3:12, assurance tested in 1 Peter 3:13-4:19, and assurance resulted in 1 Peter 5:1-5:14. It simply blows my mind that in 5 chapters, assurance can be discussed in so many different ways.

Signing out, looking forward to next week at The Tute!
