Blessed to Bless

(1 Peter 3:8-14) Guest Speaker: Jerome David

1 Peter 3:8-14 sums up the duties of God’s covenant community to all men. In this passage, Peter lays down the believers’ responsibilities to the brethren (v. 8) and to those who oppress, vilify, and despise them (vv. 9-11). The attitudes and actions that the apostle emphasized should characterize our practice in every situation and relationship of our lives. If we act in these ways, we can expect to live well, enjoy God’s favor, and exalt Christ – our model par excellence.
