| | (1 Peter - Part 28): After Conversion, the Remainder of Your Life Should Be Different by A.W. Tozer
Topic: Conversion
Scripture(s): 1 Peter 4:1-5 | | Description: “I am not going to waste any tears on anybody who comes whimpering to me for sympathy because people think he’s strange from following Christ. … The moment it can’t be said of a Christian, ‘He’s different,’ he has disgraced his testimony and sold out his faith.” A. W. Tozer explores 1 Peter 4:1-5 with ironclad logic, tempered by his distinctive spark of congenial wit. He contemplates the meaning of “strange,” defines a Christian and the Christian perspective of time, and extols the virtues of a silent reply. Pastor Tozer’s remarkable mind is at its best in this 28th message of his 34-part series on the first epistle of Peter. “After Conversion, the Remainder of Your Life Should Be Different” was recorded on June 6, 1954, in Chicago, Illinois. Its length is 23 minutes and 55 seconds.

(It is possible to) Cease from Sin
|
|
|
I've always wondered... Since Yeshua Ha'Mashiach suffered and paid the price for me to live in eternity, why must I also suffer and die daily to live in eternity? I mean, why should I suffer, if the price was paid..? Right? This question has taunted me for a while as I have been daily seeking God. The scripture 1Peter 4, and this sermon from Tozer, seemed to be the first to shed some light on the answer I‘ve been seeking. It’s not easy to cease from sin, but I will not live any longer to the lust of men. 1Peter 4:1-7. I thank God for men like A. W. Tozer, that preach the truth of the goodness and severity of God.

A Call for Separation from Things Unclean
|
|
|
This message is a call for people to recognize "strangeness" as something that is different from the norm. This does not necessarly mean that being strange is bad; for when Christians abstain from drink and vulgar language in the company of ruffians it is true that the Christian is abnormal or "strange," but it is a form of cleanliness, markedly apart from worldliness, and is to be embraced.
