The Freedom of Submission: Realities

Series: 1 Peter

October 13, 2024 | Paul Joslin

The controversial topic of 1 Peter 2:18-25 highlights the call for Christians to submit to authority, even when it's unfair, following Christ's example of enduring suffering. It encourages believers to trust God's justice during tough times, knowing that how they respond shows their faith. This kind of submission is active, not passive, and can lead to personal growth. Christ's response to injustice sets a powerful example for facing trials with patience and integrity. How believers handle hardship can serve as a witness to others, bringing glory to God and offering healing to a hurting world.
