Lastest message Free to serve God | Steve Morrison | 1 Peter 2:11–17

The Apostle Peter reminds us of our high status in (2:9) we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession. We do indeed have a high status in the sight of God. In our passage this week we discover that this privilege is the power we require for humble service. Following Jesus example, we look to the one who constrained himself, serving us, becoming human and dying for us. He served us that we might be free. Free to serve God. As we throw off sinful passions and endeavour to be model citizens, we testify to the world that God is good. Our witness even in the face of hostility is that we love this world and yet it is not our home. Ours is the kingdom. His kingdom and we wait patiently for his visitation.
