Rise Up & Stand Firm—A Study of 1 Peter (Part 2)Намуна

Living to Glorify God

How’s your learning going? I want to encourage you to continue to engage in your note-taking observations. I am praying for your growth and believing you’re gaining insight from your in-depth time in God’s Word. Keep it up!

Pray: 

Holy Spirit, I love You. I am ready to learn and grow. Please reveal Your ways to me today. 

Today’s Goal: 

Make connections from today’s reading to the rest of 1 Peter, grow in our love for God, and live out what we learn. 

Study Tip: 

If you come across a word, verse, or passage that needs more clarity, write it down, look at other translations, and consider doing more research on it. 

Read and Write: 

Grab your notebook and quickly review yesterday’s study notes. This is important because we want to make good connections with the text. 

Next, read through 1 Peter 2:11-17 and write down your observations.

• What do sinful desires do (see verse 11)?
• List all that Christians (foreigners and exiles) are urged to do. 
• What are two good outcomes that follow “doing good”? 
• How many times do you see the word “good” appear? And what is the context?
• Write a summary of 1 Peter 2:11-17. 

Reflect:

• Who is it most difficult for you to submit and show respect to? 
• What do you think Peter means by stressing that these Christians are “foreigners” and “exiles”? How would keeping this truth in mind affect the way you live today? 

Apply:

• Based on today’s lesson, in what way will you rise up and stand firm?
