1 Peter 4 · Grade 3
Stewards of Grace
Read the Story
Peter says Christ suffered in the flesh. So believers should live for the will of God, not for their old ways. Their old friends think it is strange that they do not join them anymore.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer. Above all, be earnest in your love, for love covers a multitude of sins. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling.
As each has received a gift, use it in serving one another. Do not be surprised at fiery trials. If you suffer for being a Christian, do not be ashamed. Give glory to God, and trust yourself to a faithful Creator.
Memory Verse
“As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.”
