"Humility: The Grace Under Authority"

I Peter 2:11-17

We have seen the following outline of I Peter:

Hope 1: 3-12

Holiness 1: 13-21

Harmony 1: 22-2:3

Home 2:4-10

Humility 2: 11- 5: 14

Notice 5: 5-7

1. Humility honors God – vs. 13

2. Humility silences our enemies – vs. 12

3. Humility attracts the unsaved – vs. 12

4. Humility reflects Christ likeness – vs. 21

 

I. Humility affects our Worship

When we are humble and permit God to be the authority in our life, then we rightly acknowledge God and worship Him.

II. Humility affects our Witness

When we fall under authority rightly, then we will have a positive witness to others.

III. Humility affects our Work

When we are humble and under authority of God, then we work in the power of His spirit and not our flesh.
