1Peter 1-25; Highlights
He reminded them that - As a result of their obedience to God, they have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and it is by his great Mercy that they have been born again because God raised Jesus Christ from dead. – v 1-3
1Peter 1 v 17
Who is a Temporary Resident?
A foreign national granted the right to stay in a country for a certain length of time (e.g., with a visa or residency permit), without full citizenship. This may be for study, business or other reasons. – Wikipedia
Believers as “temporary residents” – what does this mean?
This mean we are not home yet. i.e., this world is not our home. This mean we are in this world for a moment .i.e. we are time bound
This mean we must prioritize our time here on earth
This mean we cannot conform to the pattern of this world

Moment of reflection
As a “Believers”, maybe it’s time to look inwardly.
How do YOU view yourself? Do YOU truly view yourself as a “temporary resident” on earth, looking ahead to eternal moment with God? Or are YOU busy “setting up camp” here in this world by pursuing things that won’t last?
As “Believers” it is time we sit down and shine light on various aspects of our lives – Home, Work/Career, Relationships, Habits etc. and PRAY to God to reveal to us where we are running after the world instead of him.

Meditate on the Word of God

Why is the word of God so critical today ?
