I Peter Lesson-06: Living Differently - Part II

Today we are in Lesson-06 in the series “Living Hope” from the book of I Peter.

This study is part I of our series: “Strangers and Pilgrims” which covers I and II Peter.
 
The lesson is titled “Living Differently – Part II” and our focus passage is I Peter 3:8-22.
 
Please find your way in your Bible to that passage.

In our previous episode, we concluded our study of I Peter 3. In this chapter, Peter calls believers to godly living at home, at church, in the world, and even in the face of unfair treatment.
 
Last time we covered our first division, Godly Marriages (v1-7), with Peter’s exhortation to both Christian wives and husbands.
 
Our challenge is for our Christian marriages to strive to live up to the expectations set in Scripture.
 
If we do that, we will bring an adornment that would be attractive to unbelievers in many ways.

In today’s lesson we conclude our study of I Peter 3. Peter continues to challenge his audience to live in a different way that unbelievers live. We have to stand out for God.
 
Peter addresses how this living differently should manifest itself not only in our Christian marriages.
 
It should also be evident in how we treat each other as members of God’s family, and how we deal with an increasingly hostile world.

Our focus today will be our second division Godly Behavior (v8-16) and our third division Godly Suffering (v17-22).

Let’s get started.
