And we need to recognize godly authority over our life. Take out your Bible. Let's continue in this first epistle of Peter. And chapter two, we'll begin where we left off.

Do you want to live a sanctified life? That is, do you want to be a vessel, where the power of God, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, is clearly seen in you and through you, that you become an individual that has a godly influence on others, and that you are able to submit to God and be a blessing in the life of others. Now, it's easy to say, Yes, I do. The question is, that's not enough. So what is it that we must do, if those things are going to become a reality in our life? Well, that's what Peter is going to share with us, beginning in chapter two.
