—1 Peter 1:10-16
by: Jerry Johnson.
The Old Testament prophets were not haphazard in their search for truth. They were diligent in the desire to understand the timing and circumstances surrounding the coming of the Messiah. Peter commanded us to act the same way. In the words of R. C. Sproul, “fasten your belts” or “roll up your sleeves” to learn more about God. As we learn more about the moral perfections of God, we should be motivated to live holy lives in response to the hope we have of eternal life at Jesus’ second coming. Today’s sappy, user-friendly worship and preaching formats can rob us of this discipline.
