The Spirit enables us to obey the truth
1 Peter 1:17-21 - 17 And if you address as Father, the One who judges impartially based on each one’s work, you are to conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your temporary residence. 18 For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from the fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. 20 He was chosen before the foundation of the world but was revealed at the end of the times for you 21 who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.[1]
1 Peter 1:22 - 22 By obedience to the truth, having purified yourselves for sincere love of the brothers, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,[2]
- Obeying the Truth leads us to naturally respond in 3 areas:
1) Loving our brother/friend
1 Peter 1:23 – 2 Peter 2:2 - 23 since you have been born again —not of perishable seed but of imperishable—through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For
All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory like a flower of the grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.
And this is the word that was preached as the gospel to you.
2 So rid yourselves of all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.
2) Repentance from sin.
2 Like newborn infants, desire the pure spiritual milk, so that you may grow by it for your salvation,[3]
3) Desire for spiritual growth.
The Spirit leads us
Matthew 4:1 - Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.[4]
Luke 4:1-2 - Then Jesus returned from the Jordan, full of the Holy Spirit, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for 40 days to be tempted by the Devil.[5]
Romans 8:14 - 14 All those led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons.
- Those who are led by God’s Spirit are easily identified as God’s children.
The Spirit empowers us
Luke 4:14 - 14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread throughout the entire vicinity.[6]
Luke 24:49 - 49 And look, I am sending you what My Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high.” [7]
Acts 1:8 - 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”[8]
Romans 15:19 - 19 by the power of miraculous signs and wonders, and by the power of God’s Spirit. As a result, I have fully proclaimed the good news about the Messiah from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum. (ee-lear-eh-kon)[9]
The Spirit moves us
2 Peter 1:21 - 21 because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.[10]
The Spirit leads us to Freedom
Galatians 5:18 - 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.[11]
- It was important for the Galatians to know that just as justification is not possible by works so sanctification cannot be achieved by human effort.[12]
