The Commentary on … The First Epistle of Peter

God has given to us a BOOK.

This BOOK is here to this very day … for all of us to read, to believe and to obey.

In the language of the end times … it is Authorized Version of 1611, or any of its revisions [the King James Bible].

This Bible was “translated out of the original tongues: and with the former translations diligently compared and revised, by his majesty’s special command” and “appointed to read in churches” till the SON of GOD comes to establish the millennial [one thousand years] Kingdom of Heaven on this Earth. Amen!

By God’s grace, I will attempt to write a commentary of the First Epistle of Peter.

I will not resort to unbelief or give ground to the Devil in this endeavor.

I want the LORD Jesus Christ to receive the honor and the glory, and for those who read this book to be helped in the manner as described in the book of Ephesians chapter four, verse twelve: “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” [Ephesians 4:12]

The Basic Truths of Life

Rick St.James - Old Paths Baptist Mission ©

Everyone that ever walked on this planet must come to terms in this life with some basic TRUTHS.

These will be the basic truths that no one can argue with, if they are sane.

Of course, if you believe what God says in His Own BOOK about you, then you will have no problem with accepting these basic truths.

1. The Brevity Of Life

"For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (James 4:14b)

Our life is brief! like a vapor, or like smoke.

"Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?" (Job 7:1)

He is born, and then he will die!

This is certain! (The exception being Enoch and Elijah, and also, those believers in Jesus Christ who are alive when He comes for His Church.)

2. The Brevity Of Your Remembrance

You will soon be forgotten.

A man is remembered only a little while, and then he is forgotten.

"He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness." (Job 7:10 & 10:20-22)

3. The Sureness Of Trouble

Life is bale full of troubles.

I have also found this very true!!!

"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." (Job 14:1).

4. The Verity Of The White Throne Judgment

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

You will not miss this one unless YOU ARE HID in the CLEFT OF THE ROCK!

5. The Eternality And The Finality Of What You Do With Jesus Christ:

We will all be held accountable over this issue.

It is a hard fact of life, my friend.

Now will you take God's offer of eternal life ... purchased by His Son ... for all those who will put their trust in Him ... a thumbs down?

You will everlastingly suffer the consequences!

6. That Men Never Learn From History

We learn from History That Men Never Learn From History!

It is a heart problem!

Men refuse to learn the "lessons" afforded by the light of HISTORY: the recorded historical events which occurred as fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

Now, these are the basic truths with which we all must deal with one way or another!

7. What Should You Do?

"But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"; [Romans 10:8-13]

A Challenging Quiz for Christians:

by David F. Reagan - Present With The LORD [May, 2007]

Are you a Christian?

Do you know for sure that you have trusted in Jesus Christ as your Saviour and that your death would take you immediately into the presence of God?

If you can answer yes to these questions, then we can certainly rejoice with you. But let me ask you some other questions; questions that I hope you will carefully consider:

A hundred years after you are dead, what will it matter that you ever lived?

Does the devil ever get a report on you from his evil spirits about the trouble you are causing him?
How long has it been since you shed a tear for a lost soul?

What would God have to do to break your heart for Him and eternal things?

Is your life empty or filled with frivolous things? (They are one and the same)

Are you closer to God today than you were a year ago?

Make a list of the things you do that are seen as important in heaven.

Go ahead and make the list. Your record is being kept in heaven anyway. Have you considered what your record looks like?

God established His church in order to correct, challenge, encourage, and guide His people.

In church, believers get to know one another, help one another, and work together to accomplish things of eternal importance. Are you ready to serve God with all your heart?

Do you desire to do something really important; to make a difference? ."

The End of Things For A Man

“Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a Weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.” [Isaiah 38:12]

Have you arrived at this point?

A man or a woman is filled with wisdom … when he or she comes to the LORD and prays like David did in Psalm thirty-nine verse four:

“Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.” [Psalm 39:4]

This is prayer: Make me to know my “end” so that I may have knowledge of how weak I am.

If you know your "end", my friend, then your pride will inevitably be weakened.

Humility will become a friend.

Humility will come to live with you.

Listen to what the Spirit of God [through Job] says in Job chapter six, verse eleven:

“What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?” [Job 6:11]

Do you see what I see?

Job is asking the right question.

You will be wise if you ask the same question.

Job knows that his end is … PEACE.

See this in Job chapter twenty-six in verse ten: “He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.” [Job 26:10]

Next, look at what God gave us [through David] in the book of Psalms. “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.” [Psalm 37:37-38]

The end of the “perfect man” is very different than the end of the “wicked”.

There is a desired “end” for a man. God desires to give the “perfect man” … “peace.”

Will You Come To Jesus Christ?

Do you believe this scripture, my friend?

Do you sense from within your heart ... the tugging and pulling of the Spirit of God?

The Holy Spirit "will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."

Are you under tremendous conviction of sin, and are you mulling over within your heart the TWO WAYS in life that lie before you?

You must make a decision.

It is a matter of whether or not to go to THE STRAIT GATE, or to stay on THE BROAD WAY!

Where are you, my friend?

What will you do with Jesus Christ?

Will you flee from the wrath of God, and go to THE DOOR, and Knock?

If you go through this DOOR you will be on location at Mount Calvary which place is where the weight of your sin will drop off your back at the sight of the ONE who died for you, and WHO shed His BLOOD for you.

You ... my friend ... will then ... be on THE NARROW WAY TO HEAVEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
