1 Peter 4:1-6 - Dead to Self, Alive in Christ
Peter's advice to the church is to suffer well and have endurance through persecution:
- The concept of suffering and sin, referencing Romans 6, where Paul says that those who have died to sin are no longer bound by it.
- This doesn't mean Christians are sinless, but rather that they've died to their old selves and are made alive in Christ.
- Putting old sins to death is a daily process, requiring faith and obedience to Jesus.
- The importance of studying Jesus' life and falling in love with who He is, as this helps Christians understand how to please Him.
