Christian Lifestyle (1Peter)

Only the Holy Spirit can make us Christ-

like.

Our words & lifestyle must agree – that’s

integrity.

How can we develop a Christian

Lifestyle?

• Remember the Gospel - glory in the

cross.

• Seek the spiritual food of the Word of

God.

• Worship in reverent fear before Father

God.

• Live in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Why is Christian Lifestyle important? (1 Peter)

1) We live for the Lord in response to His grace.

2) We are witnesses in a pagan culture:

> Godliness reveals God to unbelievers -

211,12

> Godly living causes non-Christians to

ask questions about our hope - 315,16

> Repay evil with blessing - 39
