After we come to Christ, our lives should look drastically different from when we were slaves to sin. Yet although sin no longer reigns, it still remains, and in this life we will never be free from its temptation. Studying the words of Peter, Alistair Begg teaches us that we are called to actively put on the attitude of Christ—and in doing so, we should expect abuse from those who are enslaved to sin.
1Since therefore zChrist suffered in the flesh,1 aarm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for bwhoever has suffered in the flesh chas ceased from sin, 2dso as to live for ethe rest of the time in the flesh fno longer for human passions but gfor the will of God. 3For the time that is past hsuffices ifor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of jdebauchery, and kthey malign you; 5but they will give account to him who is ready lto judge the living and the dead. 6For this is why mthe gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.
