Since Christ suffered once for you, and you now have a magnificent and permanent verdict before God, how does this change your daily relationship with God? How does it change how you work and interact with coworkers/friends? How does this affect your attitude toward those you deem “unrighteous”? Why else do you think Peter references Noah? Think about what Peter’s readers (and we) have in common with Noah’s situation.Ĭhrist the righteous, suffered for you, the unrighteous. What does Peter say baptism corresponds to (v.21)? What commonalities are there between baptism and Noah and the ark? What do you think Peter’s reason is for including v.19-22? Think about the context of Peter’s readers and the purpose of his letter. What does Peter say the purpose of Christ’s suffereing was, and how would things be different in your life or the world if Christ didn’t suffer for anything? How would v.18-or the entire Christian faith for that matter-be altered if v.18 stopped after the word “once”? i.e. How would the implications of v.18 be changed if the word once was omitted? (Hebrews 10:10-14 provides more theological context) The word “For” in the beginning of v.18 connects it to the prior section how does v.18 relate to v.13-17? How does this change how you read a verse like v.14 or v.17?
