1 Peter

Verse 13 opens with a powerful word: “Therefore.” With that single word, Peter connects two major concepts. In the first twelve verses, Peter discusses the reality of the Gospel in our lives. Now, he aims to show how we are to respond to the Gospel.

Big Idea: Since you're now part of God's family, live in holiness and reverence as you wait for Christ to return.

1. Since you’ve been graced, fix your hope on future glory (13)
2. Since you’ve Been called, follow your Father in holiness (14-16)
3. Since You’ve been redeemed, fear your Father in reverence (17-21)
