THE IMPORTANCE OF OBEDIENCE
Dr. Rocky Ramsey explores how Christians are called to live faithfully in a world that challenges their beliefs, as outlined in 1 Peter 2:11-12. First, believers must remember who they are—loved by God but out of place in this world. Second, they must recognize what they face: the world, the devil, and the flesh. Third, believers must live in submission to God, avoiding sin. Finally, they should remember why they exist—to reflect God’s character and share His works with others.
“Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.”
