Pastor Pierucki continues through 1 and 2 Peter, teaching that believers are saved by grace and eternally secure because they were bought with Christ's blood, yet they are not free to sin, and God corrects His children. He warns against lordship salvation, Calvinism, and health, wealth, and prosperity teaching, stressing that every Christian will suffer and must stand firm against the devil's attacks. He urges believers to read the Word of God, pray, witness, use the altar, and return to their first love, living holy lives while looking for the return of Jesus Christ.
“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:”1 Peter 1:13-22 (KJV)
