"Stand Firm in the True Grace of God"

What is grace?

Rev. Joseph Marshall

I Peter 5:5-14

How to stand firm in the true grace of God

I.   Be humble (5-9)

          A.  Humility is a act of submission (5-7)

                    All believers should submit to one another and to God!

          B.  Humility is an act of sobriety (8-9a)

                    Anytime pride is in our heart, it gives the devil and opportunity to devour!

                         1.  Respect the devil

                         2.  Recognize the devil

                         3.  Resist the devil

                    What if Peter had obeyed these three instructions during the crucifixion?

II.  Be hopeful (9b-11)
