Title - The Blessed Life of the Elect Pilgrims
Series - 1 Peter: A Message Of Hope For Pilgrims
Part - 2
Introductory Words
Peter opened his epistle by blessing God!
“Blessed be God!”
We bless God because He has blessed us!
In our text, Peter begins to describe the blessed life of the elect pilgrims that he was addressing in this epistle.
They are blessed in 4 ways:
they are blessed in their existence - in the present and in the future
they are blessed in their future existence
they are blessed in their kind of faith
they are blessed in their saving experience
Main Points
I.
The Blessed Existence(Life) of the Elect Pilgrims
The elect pilgrims have a blessed existence on earth.
1 Peter 1.3-
THEY HAVE A BLESSED LIFE IN THE PRESENT
They are “born again according to God’s abundant mercy”
that you are born again means you are blessed!
new birth corrects the errors of your first birth
- born of woman…few days and full of trouble
- born in iniquity, conceived in sin
new birth completes the limitations of your natural birth
that you are born again means God’s has shown you abundant mercy!
They are begotten again to a living hope
Their hope is based on the resurrected Lord
The old/first birth is a hopeless case - destined for wrath and destruction
New birth delivers us from the wrath of God’s judgment
THEY HAVE A BLESSED LIFE IN THE FUTURE
They are begotten again to an inheritance
Peter describes the quality of their inheritance
“incorruptible, undefiled, unfading, reserved in heaven”
Paul gives the details of this inheritance
It is given by promise -
It is received by faith in Christ -
It is claimed with Christ - (join-heir with Christ)
What is the inheritance?
THE GLORY!
- that we might be GLORIFIED together
- the glory that shall be revealed IN US
- creation awaits the GLORIOUS liberty of the children of God
- adoption, the REDEMPTION of our body
- the Holy Spirit is the guarantee
-
THEY HAVE A BLESSED AND SECURE PRESENT AND FUTURE LIFE
They are begotten again and kept by the power of God
They are KEPT because they are begotten again
God will not let His work in us go to waste!
- He began a good work… He will finish it...
They are "guarded” (grk.
phroureo) for their future salvation to be revealed in the last time
God wants to ensure our salvation is complete!
They are secured by the power of God through faith
God’s power is AT WORK because we believe!
II.
The Blessed Faith of the Elect Pilgrims
The elect pilgrims have a blessed future in heaven
1
III.
The Blessed Faith of the Elect Pilgrims
The elect pilgrims possess a blessed faith
1 Peter 1.6-
“In this...” - points to “salvation ready to be revealed in the last time”
They have “genuine faith”
they are tested - being grieved with various trials
they rejoice in the midst of their trials (double rejoicing)
not in temporal things, but in THIS - future salvation
in gaining/claiming(receiving) the result(end) of faith - salvation of the soul
GENUINE FAITH IS NOT MATERIAL-CENTERED NOR EARTH-BOUND
Their genuine faith is found worthy of praise, honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ
When Jesus appears in glory, God’s pilgrims will be PRAISED, HONORED, AND GLORIFIED because of their FAITH!
Praised - exalted, commended (note )
Honored - positioned in a place of honor
Glorified - together with Christ as overcomers!
III.
The Blessed Salvation of the Elect Pilgrims
The elect pilgrims are enjoying a blessed salvation
Their salvation was ministered to them by prophets!
they prophesied of the grace that would come to you
they searched and inquired how and when the Messiah will suffer and be glorified
they were given understanding that it was not for them and their time, but for you today!
Their salvation was desired by angels to see!
the plan of salvation was not completely revealed to angels until Christ was born, crucified, died and raised from the dead
God wanted the angels to see His glorious act when it is all said and done!
Conclusion
Don’t trade your blessed life with the temporal things of this world
all the world can offer are temporary things because it cannot give hope to its own people
- you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory!
Don’t let go of your salvation!
hold on to your salvation because God is holding on to you!
