Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Peter 1:17-25

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES1 Peter 1:17. The Father.—Better, “a Father.” God apprehended as Father through our apprehension of the Sonship of Christ. Plumptre reminds us that “the sequel shows this attribute of Fatherhood is not thought of as excluding the idea of judgment, but gives assurance that the judgment will be one of perfect equity.” Sojourning.—(See 1 Peter 1:1). Fear.—Not dread, but seriousness and self-distrust. “This fear is not cowardice (nor superstition); it drowns all lower... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:17-19

1 Peter 1:17-19 Fear of Judgment to Come and of Redemption Accomplished. Note: I. The sphere and operation of Christian fear. There are some to whom the importance attached to fear in this place and elsewhere seems in contradiction to the teaching of the Apostle John, who speaks of fear as being cast out by perfect love. But it is to be observed that it is perfect love to which this prerogative is assigned. When love is perfect, it renders fear in any other sense than that of reverence... read more

The efficiency of the sacrifice in accomplishing its twofold object (1) in satisfying Divine justice, for "God raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory"; (2) in effecting the emancipation of men from the dominion of sin and the corruption of their nature, redeeming them from their vain conversation, received by tradition from their fathers.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 1:1-25

Tonight let's turn to First Peter chapter one. Of the many disciples that were following Jesus, He chose twelve to be apostles. One of the twelve that was chosen as an apostle was Simon Peter. Simon Peter was by profession a fisherman. He was called by the Lord from fishing for those Saint Peter's fish in the Sea of Galilee to become a fisher of men, and was a very impulsive person by nature, according to tradition, a very big man physically. He became one of the leaders in the church. And now... read more

If one should fight against the king and say he were a good subject; or say he is a man’s servant, and yet doth nothing that he is bidden.2. But dost thou unfeignedly desire to fear God-(1) In thy general calling as a Christian, to walk holily, righteously, and soberly? Fearest thou to offend God thyself, or to... read more

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; Ver. 18. Ye were not redeemed with silver and gold ] These are poor things to purchase a soul with (more likely they are to drown it in perdition and destruction, 1Ti 6:9 ).

And without spot ] Of actual sin: or thus, without blemish, that is, sound within; and without spot, right in the outward parts. A lamb may be fair without that is rotten within. Christ was none such, but a complete sacrifice for sin. read more
