HE WHO HAS SUFFERED / 1 PETER 4:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:1

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

HE WHO HAS SUFFERED / 1 PETER 4:1

Peter again picks up the theme given in 1 Peter 3:18 of how Christ suffered unjustly for doing good and declares that His followers must be prepared to follow His example. Those who patiently endure opposition and suffering for Christ’s cause find it easier to resist sin and to follow God’s plans and purposes for their lives. This is likely true because they depend more fully on God. They have united themselves with Christ, boldly identifying with the shame He endured on the cross (Matthew 6:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23); but they are also destined to share His glory (Romans 8:17). As a result, the pull of sin becomes insignificant, and God’s purposes become top priority (1 Peter 4:2). This spiritual principle will work in the lives of all believers. Obeying God even when it means suffering, ridicule or rejection will strengthen us morally and spiritually and bring God’s honor and blessing into our lives (1 Peter 4:14).
