1 Pet 4:17–19

4:17
For it is time for judgment to begin, starting with the house of God. And
if it starts with us, what will be the fate of those who are disobedient to
the gospel of God?
18
And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of
the ungodly and sinners?
19
So then let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their
souls to a faithful Creator as they do good.

 

 

One thought:

The Christian message is pretty simple – trust God and do good works

 

Three questions:

 

What do you think Peter means that judgement has begun with God’s household?

 

How do you feel about the reality of hell?

 

What is one good thing you could do today for someone else?

 

 

Prayer:

 

Acknowledge God as the judge of the living and the dead.

Repent of times when you have not trusted in Him.

Ask God to help you to trust Him and do good.
