book of First Peter now God’s people in that day and in this day know and will know tough times but there’s some truths that were true for Peter and his people and are true for Adrien and his people just as true they are time truths for tough times and today one of the great truths that I want you to learn and I pray God the holy spirit will give me the ability to imprint indelibly upon your heart is this this world is not my home and that’s the title of our message this morning this world is not my home I want
you to notice in 1 Peter chapter 1 verse one Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ to The Strangers SC sced throughout pontis galatia capadia Asia and bethenia God calls us here strangers pilgrims sojourners this world is not my home we sing that little chorus this world is not my home I am just a passing through my treasure is laid up somewhere beyond the blue not only are we strangers not only are we pilgrims but friend we are strangers pilg and sojourners in hostile territory and we’re sailing through uncharted waters
and there’s danger lurking on every side and so we need to learn that since we are not of this world but in this world what our relationship to this world ought to be and that’s what I’m going to be talking to you about in this first message entitled this world is not my home now the first thing I want you to learn about those of us who are Christians is this we were selected before the world before the world notice in verse two a wonderful verse that talks to us about our Salvation look at it elect according to the forn knowledge
of God the Father through sanctification of the spirit unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ Grace unto you and peace be multiplied and there you see the Holy Trinity working together for our Salvation let me tell you what the Holy Trinity did God the Father thought it God the spirit wrought it and and God the son bought it I want you to see that right now as I tell you that the Lord selected us before the foundation of the world now this word says that we are his elect do you see it there in verse two
