1 Peter 3:18 – 4:6
“The Purpose of Christ’s Death”
- Why did Jesus have to die according to verse 18? What does it mean for Him to be an “introducer” to the Father?
- How were people in Old Testament times made right with God? (1 Peter 3:19-20)
- Why is it NOT true that Jesus “descended to hell” as some creeds say? (See Luke 23:43 and John 19:30.)
- What does it mean when 1 Peter 3:21-22 say that baptism is a “pledge of a good conscience toward God”?
- How is obedience to God like spiritual armor or weapons according to verses 4:1-2?
- Why do unbelievers persecute those who want to live for Christ? (1 Peter 4:3-4)
- How should the coming judgement motivate us to share our faith? (1 Peter 4:5-6)
