The Bible Exposition Commentary (Chapter Nine: The Rest of Your Time (1 Peter 4:1–11))
The will of God is not a burden that the Father places on us. Rather it is the divine enjoyment and enablement that makes all burdens light. The will of God comes from the heart of God and therefore is an expression of the love of God. We may not always understand what He is doing, but we know that He is doing what is best for us. We do not live on explanations; we live on promises.
V 3 Remember who you were
The time you were in the life of sin in sufficient
don’t go back to who you were
Peter gives examples of this prior lifestyle
People will think we have lost our mind
And when his family heard this, they went out to restrain him, for they were saying, “He has lost his mind!”
And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “You are out of your mind, Paul! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
the world does not understand us and hates us
V 4
But we need to be patient with them
understand that
they are not regenerated, they are blinded by satan, they are slaves to sin
And maybe it is you that God wants to demonstrate His love through
V 5 The unsaved may judge us but ultimately God will judge them
they are going to give an account
the one who is persecuting you now, will stand before God
Romans 6:23 (LEB)
For the compensation due sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
who when he was reviled, did not revile in return; when suffering, he did not threaten, but entrusted himself to the one who judges justly,
Jesus sits on the throne with every living being under His sovereignty
And he will judge those who are persecuting you
So have hope, this suffering wont last forever
V 6 those who have died in by persecution
They recieved the Good news
They were regenerated
they have changed from being worldly to Godly
They were not understood by the world
They were hated by the world and suffered because of this
We need to be Christlike in all that we do and say and think
we need to remember our Savior who has saved us with His blood
we need to remember that this present world of persecution is a fleeting thing
Satan wants to help us take our eyes from Jesus
Don’t be like Peter walking on the water
Serve God for the glory of God
