Living in Light of the Return of Christ

1 Peter 4:7-19

Peter was present with Jesus when he taught about his second coming on the Mt. of Olives. It undoubtedly made a huge impression on him, because he alludes to this in both letters. In this section of his first epistle, Peter teaches the reality of the return of Jesus and the practical difference it should make in our participation in the body of Christ. Peter gives us three practical things that we should do in light of his return.
