1 Peter 1:13 (NIV):

Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.

Three tasks:

(1) Prepare your minds for action.

(2) Exercise self-control.

(3) Put your hope in your salvation.

This world is not your home.

You have been born again to a living hope.

You have an imperishable inheritance.

The truth of our salvation should transform our behavior.

1 Peter 4:2-4 — We do not seek to fulfill human desire but to do God’s will.

Proverbs 29:18 — Whoever obeys the law has joy.

2 Corinthians 10:5 — The believer is to take control of their thought life.

Matthew 23:28

1 Chronicles 28

Psalm 139:1-4 — We cannot hide our thoughts from the Lord.

Hebrews 5:11-14

Brace yourselves up; be firm, be consistent.

As a Christian, the best is yet to come.

Loose thinking will lead to loose living.

Next week: holiness.
