Submission and Service in Exile — 1 Peter 2:13-20

Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

[1 Peter 2:16]

As God’s people living in exile, we are subject to all types of authority, whether in government, society, school, athletics, or on the job. Humility is the quality of Christ that is most needed and at the same time most difficult to master in the life of a believer.

Jesus did not come to be served, but to serve and give His life. That is the call to follow Christ in a world that is not our own. When we humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, He will exalt us in due time.
