I Peter 1:13-21
Title:
"Holiness Unto the Lord: A Reverent
Fear"
Summary: Continuing on in the
same section of Peter's letter, the Apostle's emphasis is to call
believers to live unique, separate lives before God.
Believers live in 'holiness' as response to the living hope given them
by God in Christ. This unique lifestyle is lives out in sobriety,
holiness, and reverential fear.
In the section before us today, Peter teaches that a living hope calls
believers to reverential fear. Reverential fear is expressed in a
"parochial" manner. The motivation for living in reverential fear is
the costliness of your redemption. .
