05/22/2011 - Loved by God - 1 Peter 1:1-2

Today we begin to look at the book of 1 Peter and see that we are called to be both residents and aliens. We are to be part of the city, residents who are involved for the good of the city. At the same time we are called to be aliens, our lives are to look different so that we glorify Christ through our lives. These verses call us to look at the atonement of Christ, the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit and election.
