Conditions of Blessing 2: Turn Away From Evil

February 19, 2023 Speaker: Chris Greer Series: 1 Peter: Following Jesus as Exiles

Topic: Sermons Passage: 1 Peter 3:11

"Turn away from evil" is one word in the original Greek which communicates our obligation, the absolutely necessity of turning away from evil.
Evil-that which ought not to be, brings harm or destruction; forsaking the Lord and living as though He doesn’t exist; not obeying the commands of the Lord
The Lord's will is made clear in His Word, the Bible, which assumes we must have a good understanding of the scriptures in order to know how to obey Him.

What is evil (vs. good) in common areas of life?

  • Marriage
  • Children
  • Parents
  • Employees/work
  • Brethren/church
  • Circumstances/grateful/contentment/thankful
