Outline and Lesson Goal
Principles and Applications
I. The Attributes of a Life Worth Sharing (2:1-10)
- Principle: God’s People Should Live Lives that Match their Confession of Faith.
- Application: How is your behavior, your deeds adorning the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ?
- Scripture Reference
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16 (NASB)
II. The Ambition of a Life Worth Sharing (2:11-15)
- Principle: Godly Lives give God’s People an Audience with an Unbelieving World.
- Application: Who is being attracted to God because of your witness for Jesus Christ?
- Scripture Reference
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10 for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
I Peter 2:9-10 (NASB)
