Every time we submit to human authority we are doing it as “Unto The Lord” 1:13
Submission to all human authority is an act of faith, for in doing so we show that we believe all legitimate authority is God given. In submitting we reveal whats in our hearts and bring glory to God 2:13-15.
Peter said to the high priest “we must obey God rather than any human authority” Acts 5:29 if we are persecuted, it must be for obeying God, not as a lawbreaker or following our own ideas about what should be summited to.
We must show respect to everyone (not only to fellow christians) 2:17 read what Jesus said in Luke 6::32
Suffering is often because of our own sins or silly mistakes, we can also suffer unexpectedly simply because we live in this world. But there is a suffering that comes because we are christians fully following the example of Jesus 2:19. Who patiently submitted to the horrors of calvary to give us salvation and bring glory to God 2:21
The atoning work of Jesus at calvary was total in its scope, Peter quotes from Isaiah 53:5 which shows that Messiah’s death would result in total wholeness for everyone who believes in Jesus Christ 2:24.
memory verse
Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed.
