In the second sermon from 1 Peter 4:7-11, we are taken to the larger perspective of what motivates the church to bear the gospel to the lost world. One of the greatest dangers we face as Christians is not persecution or the rise and fall of nations; it is falling in love with the world and failing to live out the gospel. Thus, we are to live in light of the pending consummation, minister in such a way that manifests the power of Christ, and we are to view all things as pursuant to God’s glory.
