“Not Home Yet: Tasting God’s Goodness”
1 Peter 2:1-3
“So” What?
- Because you have been born again, love one another continually from a pure heart.
- Just as God demonstrated His love for us while we were sinners, as followers of Christ, we are to love others.
Take Out The Trash . . .
- Because you have been born again, live differently than the world. (Colossians 3:1-11)
- Put away all malice.
- Put away all deceit.
- Put away hypocrisy.
- Put away envy.
- Put away all slander.
Crave the Word, Taste God’s Goodness . . .
- Crave the truth of God’s Word. (Colossians 3:12-16)
- When we consume God’s Word, we taste God’s goodness.
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him!” Psalm 34:8
- The more I develop a taste for God’s goodness, the more of a distaste I will develop for sin.
- Your outward conduct is a reflection of your inward cravings.
