In this chapter (1 Peter 4:1-19) we come to the divine government in dealing with nature opposing itself to the will of God. Short as this passage is, it has in it much of the very essence of the Christian ethic.

For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord ( 1 Peter 3:5-6 ): Now I don't expect that you women are going to go this far as to call your husbands "lord", unless it's tongue-in-cheek.

But if the word prison be preferred, it would not be unsuitable; for, as while they lived, the Law, according to Paul, (Galatians 3:23,) was a sort of prison in which they were kept; so after death they must have felt the same desire for Christ; for the spirit of liberty had not as yet been fully given.

And so He ascended to the right hand of God; the angels, the authorities, the powers, the ranking of angels are all subject unto him. And preached - The word used here ( ekeruxen) is of a general character, meaning to make a proclamation of any kind, as a crier does, or to deliver a message, and does not necessarily imply that it was the gospel which was preached, nor does it determine anything in regard to the nature of the message. Noah faced the same type of opposition in his day that Peters original readers did in theirs and we do in ours. The meaning is that there is nothing in earth and heaven outside the empire of Christ. And the high priest asked them, Acts 5:27 The captain and officers just went to collect the apostles but without any violence. 15 ! And before He went away, He had left the promise of His return for them. There is another sense of salvation, and our apostle, as we shall shortly find, does not in anywise ignore it; but then he qualifies the term. It must be remembered that at this stage of the Church's history we are still dealing with adult baptism, the baptism of people who had come straight from heathenism into Christianity and who were taking upon themselves a new way of life. This accordingly gave occasion for God to exercise a new kind of choice. In regard to this doctrine there have always been differing attitudes amongst thinkers. It is the submission not of fear but of perfect love. Praise to God for a Living Hope 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! To restrict yourself to it would be a wrong, not so much to your own soul as to God's grace; and if there be any difference, especially to Him who suffered all things for God's glory and for our own infinite blessing. Some wish to eliminate it altogether and attempt to do so along two lines. Tools 1Pe 3:21 Why even your dog has a will; and I am sure you have a will yourselves. He went through a profound work in his conscience after that. They did not think in terms of heaven and of hell but of a shadowy world, where the spirits of men moved like grey ghosts in an everlasting twilight and where there was neither strength nor joy. We cannot very well apply this question and answer in infant baptism, unless it be to the parents; but, as we have said, baptism in the very early church was of adult men and women coming spontaneously from heathenism into the Church. Christ neither went into this prison, nor preached in it, nor to 1 Peter 4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. This, then, may serve to show the true nature of Christianity, which, coming in after redemption, is founded on it, and forms in us heavenly associations and hopes while Jesus is away, and we are waiting for Him to return. He was saying that we each worship something - we seek to fill the God-shaped hole in our hearts, but our worship is all vain, it's all futile, unless we worship the one true God. So, then, it must first of all be remembered that this whole matter is to be thought of, not in terms of hell, as we understand the word, but in terms of Christ's going to the dead in their shadowy world.

Let a man so act that his conscience is clear. Not intended as that at all. Since, then, Christ suffered in the flesh, you too must arm yourselves with the same conviction that he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, and as a result of this the aim of such a man now is to spend the time that remains to him of life in the flesh no longer in obedience to human passions, but in obedience to the will of God. This again is frequently said in the New Testament. Perhaps it is needless to say how the heart is tried. It doesn't hurt, but it pays big dividends. Why he should do this; or how there should be such a separation made in hades that it could be done; or what was the nature of the message which he delivered to that portion, are questions which it is impossible for any man who bolds to the opinion that Christ went down to hell after his death to preach, to answer. "Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning with the fancy hairstyles, the wearing of gold, putting on of fancy apparel.". If you say that practical holiness precedes the being brought under the blood of Jesus, I ask, How is one to become holy? Here again we have a scripture of the Old Testament applied; and this has often been, and still is to this day, exceedingly misunderstood; as if the persons here spoken of must be Gentiles because they are called the strangers of the dispersion. God set them apart unto Himself by the effectual working of the Holy Ghost,. The flesh never counts on God for good. in the text from the disobedient spirits. The spirits of disobedient sinners, as soon as they are out of their bodies, are committed to the prison of hell, whence there is no redemption. This word introduces us to a special way of looking at the Old Testament. Why? This is exactly what modern presbyters think they may and ought to do every day of their lives. I do not believe in these glory-men, or resurrection-men either, without the blood of Jesus; but, on the other hand, as little are we in scripture limited to that most wonderful of all foundations redemption through Christ Jesus our Lord. Isaiah had called Sara the mother of God's faithful people ( Isaiah 51:2); and if Christian wives are adorned with the same graces of modesty, humility and chastity, they too will be her daughters and will be within the family of the faithful people of God. A second group believes Jesus preached to Noahs sinful generation while Noah was living on the earth. Whilst the Lord was here, it is ignorance and error to call such a state of things, however blessed and needed, Christianity. The Greek for for sins is either huper ( G5228) or peri ( G4012) hamartion ( G266) . that he went unto it, or preached in it; only that the spirits Jesus Christ himself was not exempted from sufferings in this life, though he had no guilt of his own and could have declined all suffering if he had pleased.

Christian humility comes from two things. This, in fact, is a truth which is ingrained into the New Testament. It is one of the tragedies of the modern situation that there are so many Church members who, if they were asked what they believe, could not tell, and who, if they were asked why they believe it, would be equally helpless. It will be observed that "God's" is inserted in italics. When we enter upon Church membership, God asks us: "Do you accept the conditions of my service, with all privileges and all its responsibilities, with all its promises and all its demands?"

(it isn't the washing away of the filth of the flesh, but it is the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ ( 1 Peter 3:21 ): So the true baptism is a matter of my heart.Now I do believe that every one who believes in Jesus Christ should be baptized in water. (b) It is argued that Jesus preached to the fallen angels, and preached, not salvation, but final and awful doom. Then comes the general exhortation: "Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, pitiful, lowly-minded: not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing." And this "prison" must not be understood (with Bp.

Sympathy comes to the heart when Christ reigns there. With this object in view, there was entire propriety in directing them to the long-suffering and forbearance evinced by the Saviour, through Noah.

For Christ communicated a new nature which loves to obey God's will, which accordingly is given us from conversion, before (and it may be long before) a person enjoys peace. Christians must maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, remembering that there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all ( Ephesians 4:3-6). Although he is of the people of God, instead of getting an earthly character by Christianity, on the contrary he becomes a pilgrim and stranger. In the Temple the layman might come so far; he could pass through the Court of the Gentiles, the Court of the Women, the Court of the Israelites--but there he must stop.

Ross, Creation and Blessing, pp. The more usual fault of those who copied the scriptures was that they added words. Some think the whole passage applies to the preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles; but the interpretation given above appears to me, after the fullest consideration, to be the most consistent and rational, as I have already remarked. Others explain this passage of the apostles, that Christ by their ministry appeared to the dead, that is, to unbelievers. That very system of reason that makes so much of the will of man, and is not a little proud of it, would deprive God Himself of a will, and under penalty of man's accusation of injustice forbids its exercise according to His own pleasure. here, and delivered the souls of the Old Testament saints and In Ephesians chapter four, Paul tells us that "He who has ascended is the same one who first of all descended into the lower parts of the earth. According to Christian light nothing will do but ability to stand before the glory of God.
