How Should We Then Live?

Life as a believer isn’t always easy. In 1 Peter 4:7-11, the apostle Peter reminds us that our hope is not found in earthly comforts but in eternity with Christ. Instead of focusing on how long we live, we should focus on how we live.

Dr. Rocky Ramsey teaches this passage by highlighting key ways we can live with purpose and intention as followers of Jesus. Our time on earth is limited, and our focus should not be on making life easier, but on making life count. By managing our minds, staying prayerful, loving others, and using our gifts for God's kingdom, we can live with true purpose.

How are you using your life for God’s glory today?

The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without complaint. As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
— 1 Peter 4:7-11
