1 PETER

Chapter 2

read chapter

STUDY:

  • What does the first verse tell us to "put away"?  

  • What is pure spiritual milk?

  • Explain the illustration given in verses 4-8.

  • When we were not following Jesus, what did we not have?

  • Verse 11 uses the terms "sojourners and exiles".  What does this mean in reference to a believer>

  • Sum up verses 11-21.

  • We were straying away like sheep- but now we have returned to whom?

APPLICATION:

  • If you're honest, what does malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander look like in your life?

  • Again, we hear to "abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul".  This admonishment seems to be repeating itself in the last several books. What passions of the flesh wage war against your soul? What are you doing to abstain from them?

  • Can you say that you follow Christ's example set in verse 23?  If not, how have you reviled or reacted from your suffering or persecution?

Read my thoughts on this chapter:

"i'm an alien!"

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT:

Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.  Beloved, I urge you, as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.        {Verses 10-11}
