THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER / 1 PETER 4:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

1 Peter 4:18

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

THE UNGODLY AND THE SINNER / 1 PETER 4:18

“Ungodly” (Greek asebes) originally meant “not reverent”; it later came to mean “having an attitude of disrespect and contempt toward God” (Jude 1:4, where the same Greek word is used). “Sinner” (Greek hamartolos) comes from a word meaning to miss the mark, either by falling short or by going to one side or the other of the goal (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:2; Isaiah 53:6).

JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:17

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

JUDGMENT TO BEGIN WITH THE FAMILY OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:17

Christians must look inward to evaluate themselves – their devotion to God and His Word – before they attempt to make judgments about those who do not know Christ and naturally defy God. This principle applies as well to individual believers, who must always seek to settle their own issues with God and remove sin from their own lives before proposing to help others within the church solve their problems (Matthew 7:3-5; Luke 6:41-42). This practice of self-examination, humility and turning from any sin within the church is necessary if the church is to see any degree of spiritual revival among believers and any significant influence for Christ in their communities (2 Chronicles 7:14).

THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:14

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

THE SPIRIT OF GLORY AND OF GOD / 1 PETER 4:14

Those who suffer because of their loyalty to Christ are blessed (1 Peter 4:13; 1 Peter 3:14; Matthew 5:11-12) because the Holy Spirit’s presence and favor will rest on them in a special way as a sign of the greater glory that awaits them in heaven (Isaiah 11:1-2; John 1:29-34; Acts 6:9-15).

REJOICE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN / 1 PETER 4:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV)) 1 Peter 4:13

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

REJOICE THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN / 1 PETER 4:13

It is a principle within God’s kingdom that suffering for Christ’s cause will increase the depth and strength of the believer’s joy in serving the Lord (Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 5:41; 16:25; Romans 5:3; Colossians 1:24; Hebrews 10:34). For this reason, we should not fear the prospect of suffering for Christ, nor should we envy those who seem to suffer little or not at all for the Lord.

THE PAINFUL TRIAL / 1 PETER 4:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:12

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

THE PAINFUL TRIAL / 1 PETER 4:12

A focus of New Testament teaching is that troubles and difficulties are inevitable for faithful followers of Christ in an ungodly world controlled by Satan and opposed to Christ’s message. Those who are boldly devoted to Jesus Christ, who live by the guidance of the Holy Spirit and who love the truth of God’s Word will experience trouble and sorrow. In fact, suffering for the truth and cause of Christ is evidence of genuine devotion to Him (Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 14:22; Romans 8:17-18; 2 Timothy 2:12). Problems in your life may actually be a sign that God is pleased and confident of your faithfulness to Him. Tough times are characteristic of faithful spiritual warfare against sin, Satan and the ungodliness of the world (1 Peter 1:6-9; Ephesians 6:12). Through painful, faith-testing trials, God allows Christians to share in His suffering while He forms within them the quality of character He desires (Romans 5:3-5; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; James 1:2-4). When you endure trials and remain faithful to Christ, you will be considered blessed, for “the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (1 Peter 4:14; 1 Peter 2:21).

EACH ONE SHOULD USE WHATEVER GIFT HE HAS RECEIVED / 1 PETER 4:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:10

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

EACH ONE SHOULD USE WHATEVER GIFT HE HAS RECEIVED / 1 PETER 4:10

God has given each of us specific interests, abilities and talents that He expects us to put to use in serving Him and others. Because of how God created you, there are things that no one else in the world can do quite like you can. These abilities are typically related to the interests and opportunities God gives you. Though some of our gifts might seem less important than others, they are all significant to God because they provide ways to contribute to His purposes (1 Corinthians 12:11-17). You must not keep your abilities to yourself. God wants to bless and encourage others through you. In a way, you do not just have a gift; you are a gift from God to others. God has planted seeds of ability in you, and it is your responsibility to depend on God to grow and develop your gifts so that others can benefit from the fruit God produces through you (Romans 12:4-8). In a sense, your God-given talents and abilities do not become fully developed gifts until you have given them back to Him by blessing and serving others.

LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS / 1 PETER 4:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:8

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SINS / 1 PETER 4:8

This refers to the fact that love is not easily offended and does not hold a grudge. Instead, it forgives again and again (Matthew 18:21-22; 1 Corinthians 13:5; Ephesians 4:32; Matthew 6:15; Matthew 18:35; Luke 17:3).

END OF ALL THINGS IS NEAR / 1 PETER 4:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:7

But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

END OF ALL THINGS IS NEAR / 1 PETER 4:7

We should view our lives in light of Christ’s certain and soon-coming return and the end of the world (Hebrews 10:25; James 5:8-9; 1 John 2:18). This fact and awareness call for the following commitments:

  1. To pray to God passionately and consistently (Acts 10:9; 12:5; Colossians 4:2; Colossians 4:12).
  2. To love one another deeply, from the heart (1 Peter 4:8; 1 Peter 1:22; Matthew 22:37-39; 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10; 2 Peter 1:7).
  3. To be gracious, generous and kind to all, particularly those in need (1 Peter 4:9).
  4. To serve other believers through the use of spiritual gifts as empowered by the Spirit (1 Peter 4:10). 
  5. To spread Christ’s message and serve God in the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 4:11; Acts 1:5-8).
  6. To praise God (1 Peter 4:11).
  7. To remain loyal to Christ through difficulty and suffering (1 Peter 4:12-19).

THOSE WHO ARE NOW DEAD / 1 PETER 4:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:6

For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

THOSE WHO ARE NOW DEAD / 1 PETER 4:6

This passage is best understood as referring to people who heard and accepted the message about Christ while they were still living on earth, but who are now dead. This preaching refers to a past event; the word “now” does not appear in the original Greek, but it is necessary to make it clear that the preaching was done while these people were still alive. They heard the message and believed, and although they have died (“judged according to men in regard to the body”), they now live with God. The verse could be paraphrased to read, “the gospel was preached to those who believed and later died, that they might have eternal life with God” God’s Word is clear about the fact that for those who did not accept Christ in this life, there will be no opportunity to be saved after death (Hebrews 9:27).

THEY THINK IT STRANGE / 1 PETER 4:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 4:4

Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

THEY THINK IT STRANGE / 1 PETER 4:4

We cannot expect most people in the world who do not know God to understand the Christian lifestyle – what we believe, what we do and what we avoid. As a result, we will be misrepresented, ridiculed and rejected.
