Gird Your Minds with Holiness
Manage episode 289484804 series 2094168
Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor at St. John Lutheran Church in Luverne, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Peter 1:13-25.
Christians live in a world that would conform us to its ignorant passions. That makes the Christian life no idle stroll. Instead, St. Peter urges us to gird the loins of our minds to be ready. That happens not of our own will, but through the hope of God’s grace in Jesus Christ. The holy life is a high and difficult calling, yet it is founded upon the holiness that belongs to God that He gives to us in His Son. Because He is our Father and we are His children, we seek after lives of obedience to Him. We know that He has paid the price of the blood of His own Son to set us free from the futility of our sins. Through this same Jesus, foreknown from eternity and revealed now to us, we have been given faith in God. That compels us all the more to live our lives under the authority of God’s Word as we show love to each other. The foundation is the new birth that God has given us by the Word that has been preached to us.
“The Imperishable Inheritance” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the epistles of 1 and 2 Peter and Jude. The life of the Christian Church right now is life in exile. We endure attacks from various trials and from false teachers. Such suffering makes us long for the eternal home that will be ours at the resurrection of the dead. In Jesus, we have this promise of eternal life that can never be snatched away. These three epistles strengthen us to hold fast to Christ in the midst of suffering and to give witness to the hope that is ours in Him.
