Waverly Church of Christ

If you were to write down three things that you truly want, that you truly desire, what would those three things be? I can honestly tell you the things I wanted in my youth are a good bit different from what I desire now. There are three things which Peter brings out in our reading this morning that I think all of us desire: a. We all want life, abundant, fulfilling, and ultimately, eternal life. b. We all want to love someone dearly and be loved by that person. c. We all want “good days,” to look back at the end of our lives and say, “My life has been filled with good days.” As we daily live our lives . . .
a. before those who are not Christians
b. under proper human authorities
c. under those who are over us in our places of work
d. as wives in marriages with unbelieving husbands
e. as husbands, seeking to honor our wives as fellow heirs of the grace of life,

How is all of this possible? Peter tells us in this summation of all that he has been saying since 2:11 . . . we are to live them in such a way that we bring glory to God.
