1 Peter 2:11-25 – Strangers in the world

How is the best way for us to respond to it so that God is honoured, and the gospel proclaimed?

… as foreigners or exiles.
… we are in conflict with the world we live in.
V 11 – “abstain from the sinful desires which wage war against our soul”

What are the sins that you are battling against at the moment?

V 12 – urges us to live good, God honouring lives.
… so that those around us might see what we do
