The two previous sermons in this series had issues with the recording and unfortunately they were not recorded.
Today, from the passage 17-21, Peter is revealing to us that only the blood of Jesus Christ will suffice for us on the day when we stand for judgment.
We must be justified, sanctified and live each day through the blood of Jesus. This blood of Jesus represents the very life of God, and remains are only hope in life and in death.
The churches Peter is writing to are beginning to have some doubts about their faith. Peter writes to reassure them and us to persevere trusting the Lord's sovereign rule over our lives.
In these 2 verses Peter introduces the truth of our adoption as believers, the resurrection of Jesus, and our current status as elect exiles.
Peter concludes by encouraging us of the grace and peace God has given all his children.
