Preparing for the End
Preparing for the End (1 Pet. 4:7)
What did the Holy Spirit teach you from this passage?
Why should you not believe someone who claims to know exactly when Jesus will return? See Matthew 24:36.
Why do you not need to be afraid of the world ending due to nuclear annihilation, climate change, a meteor strike, or some other catastrophe? See Genesis 8:21.
Why can we trust the New Testament, even though NT authors repeatedly say Christ's return is near or at hand? See 1 Peter 3:3-10.
What do we mean when we say Christ's return is imminent?
How does Christ's return being imminent impact how you should live as a believer?
Why does Peter say the end of the world should induce sober reflection and clear-minded prayer, not incite panic?
"Watch and pray" is repeated throughout the NT (Matt. 26:41; Eph. 6:18; Col. 4:2), how would Matthew 26:41 be meaningful to Peter?
How can a vibrant prayer keep you from leaving your first love (Rev. 2:4)?
