God’s Love and Our Holiness

• Scripture: 1 Peter 1:22-2:8

Aim: to understand the Word of God calls believers to love one another, change our desires, and lead a sacrificial life

Introduction/Context: Think about the times when something in your life has gone very well. Perhaps you’re on vacation, away from the panicked demands of those who want a piece of you and looking out over the water at a peaceful sunset or across a mountain canyon in the still of the evening, and you say to yourself, “This is as good as it gets.” Have you ever said that?

For that moment, for that hour, for that day, in that set of circumstances, your opinion of the situation was, “This is as good as it gets.” There was peace. There was contentment. So, was it? Has your life ever been better? Have you said the same thing again later? “You know, that was good, but now, this, this is as good as it gets.”
