  1. CONDUCT YOURSELVES IN FEAR I Peter 1:17-19

  2. WHY CONDUCT OURSELVES IN FEAR?

  3. GOD WILL JUDGE IMPARTIALLY • Even though we call Him Father, we will still be judged • Judgment is based on “each one’s work” (II Cor. 5:10) • God’s nature in judgment (Deut. 10:17; Lev. 19:15; II Chron. 19:5-7; Acts 10:34-35; Rom. 2:10-11) • Being a Jew is not sufficient (Mt. 3:8-10) • Being a replacement is cause for fear, not pride (Rom. 11:19-21)

  4. BECAUSE WE KNOW GOD • We address Him as Father (I Pet. 1:17) – implies we know Him • “Knowing” God should lead to action (Mt. 25:24-28) • We know He is holy (I Pet. 1:13-16) and therefore how we must be • We know that He will judge (I Pet. 2:23; 4:5; Jam. 4:12; 5:9; Heb. 12:23; 13:4; etc.)

  5. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN REDEEMED BY PRECIOUS BLOOD • Redeemed – Payment to free us from oppression (such as slavery) • Isn’t it odd that the Bible teaches our redemption should lead to fear? • The price was high (Jesus’ blood) therefore we owe much • We were redeemed from our former futile way of life therefore we must not go back to it.

  6. WHY CONDUCT OURSELVES IN FEAR? • Because God will judge us impartially • Because we know God • Because we have been redeemed by precious blood

  7. FEARFUL CONDUCT • Holy like God (I Pet. 1:15-16) • Loving one another (I Pet. 1:22) • Putting aside… (I Pet. 2:1) • Abstaining (I Pet. 2:11; 4:1-3) • Submission and humility (I Pet. 2:13-14,18; 3:1; 5:5) • Being an understanding husband (I Pet. 4:7) • I Peter 3:8-12 • Hospitable without complaint (I Pet. 4:8) • NOT like the world (I Pet. 1:14,18; 4:2-4)
