PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS / 1 PETER 3:19-20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:19-20

19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

PREACHED TO THE SPIRITS / 1 PETER 3:19-20

1 Peter 3:18-20 have long been among the most difficult Bible passages to interpret.

  1. One view is that Christ, sometime between His death and resurrection (1 Peter 3:18) or possibly after His ascension from earth, went to imprisoned angels who had defied God in Noah’s time (1 Peter 3:19-20; 2 Peter 2:4-5) and announced His victory over sin and Satan at the cross and HIs victory over death through His resurrection. Another interpretation is that Christ, by the Holy Spirit, proclaimed through the mouth of Noah (2 Peter 2:5) a message of warning to the ungodly generation that was eventually destroyed in the great flood and who are now in Hades (Luke 16:19-31; Revelation 20:12) awaiting final judgment. This latter interpretation fits best with the context, which speaks of the disobedient and unsaved people of Noah’s day. It would also seem to fit with Peter’ s statement that the Spirit of Christ spoke in times past through the prophets (2 Peter 1:20-21).
  2. Neither this passage nor 1 Peter 4:6 teaches that those who did not follow God or accept Christ by faith during their earthly lifetime will have a second chance to accept forgiveness and spiritual salvation after death. By that time, one’s own choices have determined his or her eternal destiny, and all that remains in final judgement (Hebrews 9:27; Luke 16:26).

CHRIST DIED … ONCE FOR ALL / 1 PETER 3:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:18

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

CHRIST DIED … ONCE FOR ALL / 1 PETER 3:18

The whole reason Jesus came to earth was to give His life in our place (1 Peter 2:24) in order to pay the full penalty for our defiance toward God and His standards. By His heath, He bridged the vast gap that existed between sinful humanity and a holy God. As fully man and fully God – and completely without sin – Christ is the only one capable of accomplishing this once-for-all sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins (Hebrews 7:27; 9:28; 10:10).

IN YOUR HEARTS SET APART CHRIST AS LORD – ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO GIVE AN ANSWER / 1 PETER 3:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:15

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

IN YOUR HEARTS SET APART CHRIST AS LORD – ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO GIVE AN ANSWER / 1 PETER 3:15

IN YOUR HEARTS SET APART CHRIST AS LORD

Peter calls for an inner reverence for, commitment to and dependence on Christ as Lord that is always willing and ready to speak for Him and to explain one’s faith in Him to others (Isaiah 8:13). This means that we must know Christ and God’s Word in order to rightly witness for Christ and lead others to rightly witness for Christ and lead others to Him (John 4:4-26; Acts 13:31).

ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO GIVE AN ANSWER

  1. The word translated “prepared” (Greek hetoimos) means “ready, willing and equipped” and is like the Hebrew word kun, which carries the idea of being firm, stable, secure and enduring. This suggests being in a constant readiness to meet any challenge that comes along. Other Greek and Hebrew synonyms for these words found in Scripture include the idea of being “swift, prompt and responsive.” These ideas all tie in with Peter’s encouragement, “Do not fear; do not be frightened” (1 Peter 3:14), as he speaks of believers’ readiness to talk about what Christ has done for them.
  2. You must be ready to speak about your hope in Christ because you never know when you might encounter someone who is in need of hope and ready to hear about Jesus. If you live, act and speak in ways that reflect hope and a positive difference, people are likely to ask you about it at some point. Even people who are skeptical or give you a hard time about your faith may confront you with questions. You must be prepared to (a) “give an answer” – to know WHAT to say, which comes from a close relationship with Jesus and a commitment to knowing His Word; (b) “for the hope that you have” – to know WHO you are in your relationship with Christ, which will cause people to see a difference in you and perhaps ask about it in an effort to find hope in their own lives (c) “with gentleness and respect” – to know HOW to respond to questions or challenges about your faith, which is vital in reflecting Christ’s love and character (Colossians 4:6).
  3. It is absolutely imperative when speaking about spiritual things – particularly about hope you have found in Christ – to “do this with gentleness and respect.” Most people will resist an arrogant, harsh response that is presented as an argument. Such an approach is unconvincing because it feeds into the misconception that Christians are rude and defensive. By being respectful, we are more likely to be heard and perhaps develop a relationship through which we can influence unbelievers to consider the claims of Christ for themselves. In addition, we reflect Christ’s character when we show kindness (Romans 2:4).

LOVE LIFE AND SEE GOOD DAYS / 1 PETER 3:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:10

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

LOVE LIFE AND SEE GOOD DAYS / 1 PETER 3:10

Peter quotes Psalms 34:12-16 to emphasize that those who avoid evil in both words and actions, and instead pursue peace, will experience 

  1. Lives full of God’s blessing and favor.
  2. God’s special attention and presence (1 Peter 3:12).
  3. God’s answer to their prayers (James 5:16; 1 John 3:21-22).

HUSBANDS – SO THAT NOTHING WILL HINDER YOUR PRAYERS / 1 PETER 3:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:7

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

HUSBANDS – SO THAT NOTHING WILL HINDER YOUR PRAYERS / 1 PETER 3:7

HUSBANDS

Peter mentions three things about which husbands should be concerned in their relationships with their wives.

  1. The husband must be considerate and understanding, always showing a self-sacrificing, Christlike love for His wife, as directed in God’s Word (Ephesians 5:25-33; Colossians 3:19; Ephesians 5:21).
  2. The husband should treat his wife with respect as an equal heir of God’s gracious salvation and inheritance of eternal life. The husband must honor, provide for and protect his wife according to the wife’s needs. “Weaker” probably refers to the woman’s physical strength. The husband must help his wife fulfill her full potential in relationship with God.
  3. A husband must take the lead in submitting his own interests and concerns for the good of his wife and family. He must praise and highly treasure his wife, giving her every reason to love and help him according to God’s purposes for their marriage and family (1 Peter 3:1-6; Ephesians 5:23).
  4. A husband must never abuse his wife or treat her improperly in any way – physically, emotionally or spiritually. Peter teaches that a husband who fails to live with his wife in an understanding way and to give her proper honor as a child of God will damage his own relationship with God by creating a barrier between his prayers and God (Colossians 3:19).

SO THAT NOTHING WILL HINDER YOUR PRAYERS

Disunity and contention between husbands and wives not only affect their relationship with each other, but they also affect each of their personal relationships with God. In particular, it can block the effectiveness of their prayers, hindering God’s help and provision in their lives. Notice that God holds the husband primarily accountable for maintaining peace in the home.

BEAUTY … OF YOUR INNER SELF / 1 PETER 3:3-4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:3-4

BEAUTY … OF YOUR INNER SELF / 1 PETER 3:3-4

True feminine beauty is not dependent on outward appearance. Fine jewelry and fashionable clothes may impress others, but they do not impress God. In fact, if such things are given priority or taken to extremes, they can actually cause a person to defy God’s standard of modesty – both in the sense of humility and personal purity (1 Timothy 2:9).

  1. True beauty is a matter of inner loveliness and the enduring charm of a “gentle and quiet spirit,” which is precious to God because it follows Jesus’ example (Matthew 11:29; 21:5). (a) The adjective “gentle” describes a humble, unassuming character that always show loving concern for others and puts aside selfish interests for the good of others (Matthew 5:5; 2 Corinthians 10:1; Galatians 5:23; Philippians 2:3; Philippians 2:5). (b) The adjective “quiet” refers to an attitude or behavior that is not offensive or disruptive. That is to say, God wants outward behavior to reflect inner character, which is what matters most to Him.
  2. Christian wives must remain loyal to Christ and His Word and to their husbands and families. Such loyalty will be tested in a world governed by materialism, self-assertion, seductive fashions, obsession with sex and contempt for the values of home and family.

HUSBANDS … MAYBE WON OVER / 1 PETER 3:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Peter 3:1-2

 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

HUSBANDS … MAYBE WON OVER / 1 PETER 3:1

Peter instructs a Christian wife how to conduct herself in order to influence her husband to accept Christ. 

  1. She must be submissive to her husband (willing to yield her own rights for his sake), recognizing his God-given role of leadership in the family and helping him to fulfill it. (Ephesians 5:22).
  2. She must conduct herself in a pure and respectful manner, with a gentle and peaceful spirit (1 Peter 3:2-4; 1 Timothy 2:13, 15). 
  3. She must attempt to influence her husband to accept and follow Christ more by her behavior than by her words.

THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU ALSO / JOHN 15:20

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:20

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

THEY WILL PERSECUTE YOU ALSO / JOHN 15:20

While Christ’s followers are in this world, they will be hated, rejected and even persecuted for their faith and trust in Him. The world (the people in the world that do not follow Christ and the world system that is opposed to God) has been an enemy of Christ and God’s people throughout history.

  1. True Christians must understand that the world – including false religious organizations and groups – will always oppose God, His truth and the principles of His kingdom. These enemies of God will reject, oppose and persecute His faithful followers until the end (James 4:4; Matthew 5:10).
  2. The reason Christians suffer at the hands of the world is because they are different; they do not follow the typical ways of the world because they do not “belong to the world” and have come “out of the world” (John 15:19). The values, standards, behaviors, lifestyles and ultimate goals of Christ’s true followers are in conflict with the ungodly ways of their corrupt society. They refuse to compromise with its ungodly standards, and instead set their “minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2).

GO AND BEAR FRUIT / JOHN 15:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:16

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

GO AND BEAR FRUIT / JOHN 15:16

Disciples (followers, students, learners) in Jesus’ day usually chose the particular rabbi, or teacher, who they wanted to follow. But Jesus chose His inner core of disciples, and for a purpose – to “bear fruit” (John 15:2; John 15:4-5; John 15:8). All Christ’s followers have that purpose. This fruit-bearing refers to 

  1. Spiritual values and godly character, such as the fruit of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Ephesians 5:9; Colossians 1:6; Hebrews 12:11; James 3:18). 
  2. Working for the spiritual salvation of others who do not yet have a personal relationship with Christ (John 4:36; John 12:23-24; John 15:1).

ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH / JOHN 15:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 15:7

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH / JOHN 15:7

Receiving answers to our prayers is in direct relation to remaining personally connected to Christ and His Word. It is impossible to have a spiritually productive prayer life apart from knowing, believing and living by Christ’s teachings. As we grow in our relationship with Him through studying and applying His Word, the more our prayers will be in line with Christ’s desires and purposes and the more effective our prayers will be (John 14:13; John 15:4; Psalms 66:18; Matthew 7:7-8).
