Thus neither faith had its adequate and suited sphere, nor had hope its proper character till Jesus went away. The early quotations, Greek and Latin, save of Oecumenius, point to the same reading. One thing is clear, sympathy and selfishness cannot coexist. Such is the path of trial through which the believer goes forward, putting to the proof the faith which God has given him:" That the trial of your faith" (not of flesh as under the law) "being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.". *In fact but one uncial (Cod.

When a man for instance turns to God, when he has faith in Jesus, when he repents towards God, even though it may be faith but little developed or exercised, and although the repentance may be comparatively superficial (yet I am supposing now real faith and repentance through the action of the Holy Ghost), these are the tokens of the Spirit's sanctification.

The speaker should be God's mouthpiece for making His mind known there and then. That ethic is what may be called a reciprocal ethic. He was put to death in the flesh, but he was raised to life in the Spirit, in which also he went and preached to the spirits who are in prison, the spirits who were once upon a time disobedient, in the time when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built, in which some few--that is, eight souls--were brought in safety through the water. It is into this very snare that unbelief has brought men in Christendom. "[31] Herodotus often used such expressions as "he spoke, saying," or "he speaking, said," and we have the same kind of an expression in "he went and preached." And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." You are the strong one, give her that strength.

Let it then be well borne in mind, that God holds fast that which He has laid down for all that are His as to the moral government of God. There is no Scriptural reason whatever for not referring to that whole generation which rejected the preaching of Noah as "the souls in prison"; however, Peter wrote, "spirits in prison"; and, for that reason, we must refer the words "spirits in prison" to their present status at the time of Peter's writing. needless.

As I go down in the water, it's being buried. As all know, many things were allowed then for the hardness of the heart, which are thoroughly condemned now.

The question is not how far it is made good in the heart of the believer; for it really and equally embraces all believers.

For he that will love life, and see good days ( 1 Peter 3:10 ), Now here Peter goes back and just quotes a portion out of the psalms. only to their responsibility, not to their faith; and if it be responsibility, whether to do the law or to believe the Messiah, it is all one as far as the result in man is concerned. But there is need also of present strength from God to those who look to Him. In the narrow compass of these two verses Peter has the greatest and the deepest things to say about the work of Christ. It is a rejected Messiah who is the proper object of the Christian's love, though he never beheld Him; and who while unseen becomes so much the more simply and unmixedly the object of his faith, and withal the spring of "joy unspeakable and full of glory.". Why was there the mighty action of the Spirit of God producing such various gifts for profit if they did not create the responsibility to exercise them? It really is founded on the death of Christ; and therein further our due place is shown us by His resurrection. Accordingly he is exceedingly annoyed because one of the most spiritual of his congregation goes away, though it may be to follow God's word more faithfully; and no doubt there is a great deal of pain and feeling on the part of the member of the congregation who is leaving his minister. We must first note that this phrase is very misleading. When we enter upon Church membership, God asks us: "Do you accept the conditions of my service, with all privileges and all its responsibilities, with all its promises and all its demands?" We ought to be seeking to bring blessings to people. But besides this, the gospel, instead of putting a man under blood as a threat or imprecation of death in case of failure, the awful sign of his doom before his eyes if he disobeyed, puts him under the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus, which assures him of plenary forgiveness. But if it is not union with Christ, if not our full place in Him before God, there is a clear statement of our hope of heaven. Hence he can fairly take up the quotation from the law, not at all conveying that we were under law, but with an fortiori force.

There is an instance of what I referred to that the essential moral principles. (it isn't the washing away of the filth of the flesh, but it is the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ ( 1 Peter 3:21 ): So the true baptism is a matter of my heart.Now I do believe that every one who believes in Jesus Christ should be baptized in water.

We are to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep ( Romans 12:15). "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him" ( Genesis 5:24). The fault is in denying the other and yet more fundamental sense of sanctification here shown by Peter in its right relation to obedience. He was tenderhearted. If a man does not carry the sense in his soul that it is God's flock, I do not think he is fit to be an elder or in any other office of spiritual trust: he is far from the right ground for being a blessing to what, after all, is God's flock. "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren," for this is the sure effect "see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently." Thus the passage is sufficiently plain. If that is what he meant, then the figure harmonizes perfectly with Jesus' preaching to the citizens of Nazareth and others of that generation, referring to his message as "a proclamation of release to the captives," that is, the captives in sin (Luke 4:18).

I have lost the cream of my congregation." Just as the blood sprinkled was from the animals killed in view of the old covenant, so they shrank not from that dread and extreme exaction if they failed to obey the will of God. All that is needful is to identify them as the same persons who once had this prospect. It supposes that the believer is brought out of all that is natural even as to the body that he is already changed into the likeness of Christ. It must be remembered that at this stage of the Church's history we are still dealing with adult baptism, the baptism of people who had come straight from heathenism into Christianity and who were taking upon themselves a new way of life. And He preached to those souls that were in prison. That is, "the eighth --eight souls saved by water," "The like figure", whereunto even baptism doth also now save us ( 1 Peter 3:21 ). We do not hear now of the gift of the Spirit. Verse 19. Supposing God only gave the believer according to his own thoughts (often meagre); supposing one believed in the power of the precious blood of Jesus ever so truly, and had nothing more than this our real portion by the Spirit, such an one, I maintain, would be a sorry Christian indeed.

If persons take the actual application as the fulfilment of the prophecies, it in fact not only nullifies the future of scripture, but destroys the beauty and point of the present; for what the apostle intimates is, that they had obtained mercy now, though none were yet sown in the earth. But if you're cold and aloof; this jerk making a stupid mistake and he's probably going to take off when he has lost everything. The less secure she feels, the more she challenges your decision. Proved unbelief will be certainly to the praise of none, but where feeble faltering faith has been put in evidence by the trial, while surely forgiven in the grace of God, nevertheless the failure cannot but be judged as such. This particular Greek word is a difficult word to translate. It is a solemn warning to unbelief founded on plainly revealed facts before all eyes in this world, and not something to be understood as relating to another world. The spirits are characterised as in prison. Therefore be would have them know that, as to the novelty with which they reproach Christianity, it was altogether a mistake; for the Lamb without blemish and without spot, though only lately slain, was foreordained before the foundation of the world. In 1 Peter 2:21-25 Peter mentioned Jesus behavior during His passion (1 Peter 2:21-23), His death on the cross (1 Peter 2:24 a), and His present ministry as the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls (1 Peter 2:24-25). the covenants of promise, and destitute of the hope of salvation, Since this is the only passage in the New Testament upon which the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory is supposed to rest, it is important to ascertain the fair meaning of the language here employed.

Thus all the living oracles of God are turned into use for the Christian, only you must take care that you do not abuse them or any part of them. I can understand them, but do not in the least agree with them. Thus he loves to bring out again confirmatorily the new relationship in which they stood to God. And the apostle guards against the wrong conclusion, that, because in certain things we stand contrasted with the Old Testament saints, there are no grounds in common. The merit and perfection of Christ's sacrifice were such that for him to suffer once was enough. I consider them both to stand in manifest contrast with the same two elements under the law in Exodus 24:1-18, which appears to be in view. What reason is there for bringing Enoch ( G1802) into this passage at all? There's where you have to get the right perspective. God is so patient that he waited for 120 years before sending the Flood in Noahs day (Genesis 6:3). Second, it is improbable that the "sons of God" were angels. 1 PETER 3 Parallel KJVand Greek Bible (New Testament) 1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. The issue and event of Christ's suffering, as to himself, were these, he was put to death in his human nature, but he was quickened and raised again by the Spirit. of life, are called "spirits", which seems to be a word that He may have done this either by His resurrection itself or by some special announcement to them. Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may also without the word be won by the conversation or behavior of the wives ( 1 Peter 3:1 ); Or the lifestyle of the wife. But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are ye:] and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. (c) If Christ descended into Hades and preached there, there is no corner of the universe into which the message of grace has not come. For it was thus in days of old the holy women, who placed their hopes in God, adorned themselves in submission to their husbands. Divisions, whether disagreements between individual members or the existence of factions and parties and--how much more!--our present-day denominations, constitute a calling in question of the Gospel itself and a sign that those who are involved are carnal. That is, we have had accomplishment in the past; and we look for future fulfilment of all the bright anticipations of the coming kingdom. Christ, at his death, went in his human soul, into a place they Peter turns to the domestic problems which Christianity inevitably produced. . The simplest test of the reality of the Christianity of a man or a Church is whether or not it makes them love their fellow-men. Not my wife, I'm not thinking about her. May 11, 1986.

"Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you." The Christian ethic never grants a privilege without a corresponding obligation. We are told and meant to know, that as He called us by His grace, so we should call on Him as Father. So I do not believe in what is called baptismal regeneration. When the suffering is for Christ, he is demonstrating his loyalty to Christ and is sharing his sufferings. In this way it is not independent of our looking to Him. "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" (iii) Peter's answer is this. It is beyond cavil that the many perished then, and still fewer were saved than the Christian Jews at that time. It is by the silent preaching of the loveliness of her life that she must break down the barriers of prejudice and hostility, and win her husband for her new Master. After the one, and before the other, the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven is the power of Christian blessedness, and as we know also of the church, no less than of preaching the gospel everywhere. The word rendered prison, ( phulake,) means properly watch, guard - the act of keeping watch, or the guard itself; then watchpost, or station; then a place where anyone is watched or guarded, as a prison; then a watch in the sense of a division of the night, as the morning watch. The word Peter uses for pledge is eperotema ( G1906) . How much we are indebted to the Spirit who now reveals a Christ already come! It was in the Spirit that Enoch also went and preached to the imprisoned spirits who had disobeyed at the time when God's patience held out during the construction of the ark in the days of Noah." It is not here blessing them in heavenly places in Christ. And this is fortified, singular to say, (but confirming what has been already remarked) by the Psalms. Gentiles, in the times of the apostles: add to which, that the He suffered in other ways; in this He stands alone for us; "that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. I love you. It is no longer relationship with and recognition of a God that rules and governs. Hence, when he says it saves us, he necessarily brings in resurrection. Matthew 24:37-39//Luke 17:26-27)." and how is it that we can call Him Father? That would be the best sermon she could preach to win her husband for Christ. So here we find that the Christian Jews, who might have exonerated themselves from the burden laid on them by their heathen masters, are earnestly exhorted by the apostle Peter to do their bidding for the Lord's sake. The whole attitude of ancient civilization was that no woman could dare take any decision for herself. The Example Of The Work Of Christ ( 1 Peter 3:17-18 a). As Edwin H.
