Scripture: 1 Peter 4: 2-4
2 so that he can no longer spend the rest of his natural life living for human appetites and desires, but [lives] for the will and purpose of God. 3 For the time already past is [more than] enough for doing what the [unsaved] Gentiles like to do—[b]living [unrestrained as you have done] in a course of [shameless] sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries. 4 In [connection with] all this, they [the unbelievers] are resentful and surprised that you do not [think like them, value their values and] run [hand in hand] with them into the same excesses of dissipation and immoral freedom, and they criticize and abuse and ridicule you and make fun of your values.
Scripture Commentary:
Thank you, Lord, for savings me from myself! When I think of my life before I became saved, and the Christian lifestyle I live today, I thank Our Lord Jesus Christ.
If it wasn’t for Jesus, where would my life be?
Satan lost his power over me – and you – when we turned to God. Our focus is now on God.
When some of us turned to Christ, we experienced contempt from some of our so-called friends. We were scorned for refusing to participate in certain activities. They saw the change in us and didn’t understand the new person we became.
Bring people to Christ so they will know the love He has for them.
Don’t judge them. Show them the way to Christ. Bring people to Christ so they will know the love He has for them. They are lost and Satan has a hold on them as He once did on us.
With you and me and the help of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we can help break this lifestyle they are living and bring them into the light. Don’t keep the joy that you received to yourself.
