Bible Study – I Peter 3

S – Finally, all of you be like-minded and sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble, not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you may inherit a blessing. 

1 Peter 3:8–9 CSB

O – Peter exhorts the believers to be in unity, loving each other with a foundation of humility and grace.  They should bless others instead of trying to hurt those who offended them. 

A – There are many principles in these statements that are foundational.  Peter challenges us to bring them together in a daily expression.  Each can stand on their own but when brought together cohesively, their power is multiplied.  

R – Heavenly Father, you are gracious and merciful.  You gave us Christ as a human expression of your character.  Empower us today to walk in the same way he did.  Help us to see other as you see them.
