Jim Dalrymple (New Testament & Church Leadership Professor at Ozark Christian College) encourages us to use the letter written to the scattered church as a reminder of who God is, what he has done in history, and the hope he has given us. When we remember these things, we can strive to be holy people in any relationship we have and through any suffering we may face.

Lesson

*Read 1 Peter 3:8-22*

- “Do not repay reviling for reviling, but on the contrary bless.”

**4 Principles of Trust when Suffering**

- God will **see** us when we suffer 
- God will **hear** us when we suffer
- God will **bless** us when we suffer
- God will **use** us when we suffer

**An Example from History: Noah**

- It was a time of darkness and rebellion
- Few believed, and few were saved
- Jesus is victorious over even the darkest of times

**Baptism:**

- Baptism is an appeal to Jesus who alone can save you from your sin.
  - It is an appeal that can also be translated “pledge.”
  - It admits, “I need rescuing!”
  - Baptism is both a public dedication and a personal prayer.

- Baptism is a powerful confession of our faith.
  - It looks back to Jesus’ death, burial resurrection.
  - It looks forward to our own physical death, burial, resurrection.

- Baptism is a physical picture of a spiritual reality.
  - We proclaim our repentance and are washed.
  - We die to self and are raised to a new life in Christ (Rom 6)

- Baptism is not an action, but a passive submission and participation.
  - We “are” baptized.
  - We cannot do this without Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
  - We cannot do this without the church.

*Read: Acts 2:38-40*
