SUNDAY LESSON, 1/24/21
WHAT IS NORMAL?
1 Peter 4:1-5
Peter writes that people of the world think Christians are “strange” because they don’t follow the path of immorality like them (1 Peter 4:4).
So, what is normal: living for the world or living for God? That is the question that I will answer on Sunday as we look at the two worldviews, the Christian and non-Christian worldviews, that Peter outlines in these five verses.
1 Peter 4:1-5
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. 5 But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
