1 Peter
1 PeterSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg explores the meaning behind 1 Peter 1:18-25. He begins by discussing the idea of falling into bad terms with God and the importance of recognizing the high price paid for our redemption. Gregg emphasizes the need to honor God and obey Him, and how Christ serves as the lamb without blemish that foreshadowed His eventual sacrifice. He also touches on the concepts of faith, obedience, and righteousness, and the unique relationship we have with God as both servants and children.
