Ken Boa explains warfare with the world. The world presents opportunities for the flesh and strongly lures us to conform to its temporal and material standards. Surrender and renewal provide a necessary element of detachment from the world.
Ken Boa identifies the warfare as a “present cosmic-earthly conflict.” Numerous specific accounts of this “pervasive supranatural” warfare are presented from the Old and New Testaments.
Dr. Boa continues his discussion of the practical application of the spheres of God ordained authority. Peter transitions from governing authorities to that of the work place. There is no dichotomy between the sacred and the secular. We are called to do our work as to the Lord rather than for men. As we look to Him as the Source and to Him for the outcome, we pursue a higher standard than we would otherwise.
Peter invites his readers to embrace God’s narrative not the world’s narrative; to embrace a biblical perspective on life and not what we often would construe for ourselves. This epistle gives a perspective of wisdom, faith, hope, and love and calls us to put our hope in the Living God and His unchanging character and promises.
