What Would I Do If I Lived in Paul's Time?

I Peter Lesson 4- Shadow the Servant goes through 1 Peter 2: 11-25 and how believers can live Christian lives in an un-Christian world.  You will focus on living well in our current society.

I think our society is less hostile than the people Paul was writing to.  I am grateful for that because I don't know how I would handle a lot of opposition.  I fear I would give in to the temptation to deny Christ but that He would give me the strength to repent and change direction until I was following the correct path.  I am thankful for my Father's mercy and patience and that He will see Jesus instead of me when I stand before Him one day.

How to Use This Study Guide
Women today need Bible study to keep balanced, focused, and Christ-centered in their busy
worlds. The study questions in this guide allow you to choose the study level that fits your
lifestyle. To provide even more flexibility, you may pick a different level each week, depending on
your schedule.
• The “core” questions (designated by 1, 2, 3, etc.) require a total of about an hour and a
half of weekly study time, yet provide a basic understanding of the text. For busy women,
this level offers in-depth Bible study with a minimum time commitment.
• The “digging deeper” questions require outside resources such as an atlas, Bible dictionary,
and concordance. This level will challenge you to learn more about the history, culture,
and geography related to the Bible. You will also be looking up parallel passages for
additional insight.
• The “summit” questions are for those who want to probe the text even more deeply.
These questions grapple with complex theological issues and differing views. You’re
encouraged to investigate deeper by using an interlinear Greek-English text and Vine’s
Expository Dictionary on your own. Also, you may create outlines, charts, and essays in
seminary-style open-ended assignments. Some with teaching gifts and an interest in
advanced academics will enjoy exploring the “summit.”
Choose a realistic level of Bible study—one you can stick with. You may want to finish the “core”
level first, and then tackle the other levels as time permits. Take time to savor the questions, and
don’t rush through the application. The key is consistency. Do not allow yourself to be intimidated
by women who have more time or who are gifted differently from you.
Make your Bible study—whatever level you choose—top priority. Consider spacing your study
throughout the week so that you can take time to ponder and meditate on what the Holy Spirit is
teaching you. Do not make other appointments during the group Bible study. Ask God to enable
you to attend faithfully. Come with an excitement to learn from others and a desire to share
yourself and your journey. Give it your best, and God promises to join you on this adventure that
can change your life.
