In his first letter, Peter writes to Christians in Asia Minor who are suffering for their faith.
He comforts them with reminders of the solid hope for salvation they enjoy because of Christ’s death and resurrection.
Challenges them to maintain the highest standards of holy living as a witness to their persecutors.
11 Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
Peter reminds us of our status in this world!
Temporary residents and foreigners
Foreigner: A person born in or coming from a country other than one's own.
ˈfôrənər/
noun
a person born in or coming from a country other than one's own.
The major difference that makes us temporary residents, and foreigners on the earth is a war that we fight in and the world does not.
We have to fight but yet be attractive!
“keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.”
Keep away / Abstain / Avoid
- When we are told not to love the world, the Bible is referring to the world's corrupt value system.
Satan is the god of this world, and he has his own value system contrary to God's.
- Loving the world means being devoted to the world’s treasures, philosophies, and priorities.
God tells His children to set their priorities according to His eternal value system.
We are to “seek first” God’s kingdom and righteousness ().
New Living Translation () 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions.
These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave.
But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.

soul n. — The site of all the psychological faculties (such as the heart, mind, and conscience).
(Greek - Psyche)
Psyche: is the center of thought, feeling, and motivation, consciously and unconsciously directing the body's reactions to its social and physical environment.
7 Well then, am I suggesting that the law of God is sinful?
Of course not!
In fact, it was the law that showed me my sin.
I would never have known that coveting is wrong if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”
8 But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me!
If there were no law, sin would not have that power.
9 At one time I lived without understanding the law.
But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life, 10 and I died.
So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.
11 Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me.
12 But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good.
13 But how can that be?
Did the law, which is good, cause my death?
Of course not!
Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death.
So we can see how terrible sin really is.
It uses God’s good commands for its own evil purposes.
Romans 7:14
Struggling with Sin
14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good.
The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it.
Instead, I do what I hate.
16 But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good.
17 So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
18 And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.
I want to do what is right, but I can’t.
19 I want to do what is good, but I don’t.
I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.
20 But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
21 I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.
22 I love God’s law with all my heart.
23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind.
This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me.
24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?
25 Thank God!
The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.
So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.
Chapter 8
Life in the Spirit
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. 2 And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
3 The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature.
So God did what the law could not do.
He sent his own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have.
And in that body God declared an end to sin’s control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins.
4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.
5 Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.
Condemnation: the expression of very strong disapproval
