Humble Servant of All

1 Peter 3:18​

18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.
 
We understand that you've shared a verse from 1 Peter 3:18 in the New International Version. Let's consider this verse in the World English Bible (WEB) translation and then pray and discuss the context together.

**"Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit." 1 Peter 3:18 (WEB)**

This verse emphasizes the sacrificial work of Christ, who suffered for our sins to reconcile us to God. It reminds us that while Jesus was put to death physically, He was made alive in the Spirit, highlighting His resurrection and the spiritual life He offers to believers.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, grateful for the sacrifice He made for our sins. Thank You for sending Your Son to suffer on our behalf, bridging the gap between us and You. We pray for a deeper understanding of this truth and for the strength to live in the power of His resurrection. Help us to share this good news with others, that they too may be brought to You.

Father, we ask that You guide us in our relationships, that they may align with Your will. Help us to honor You in our interactions with others. Heal and restore those who are in difficult or broken marriages, and guide them back to Your divine plan. Strengthen those who are in courtship, that they may seek Your face together and build a foundation rooted in Your word. We pray for those who are struggling with sin, especially sexual immorality, that You may grant them the strength to repent and walk in purity.

Lord, we also pray for those who may not know Jesus Christ personally. Reveal Yourself to them and draw them to Your saving grace. Let them understand that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to You and that there is no other name by which we can be saved.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Let's encourage one another to stand firm in our faith, knowing that Jesus' suffering and resurrection have given us new life. Remember, ** "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" Ephesians 2:8 (WEB)**. Share this good news with others, that they too may come to know Christ and be saved.

If anyone is struggling with sin or has concerns about their relationships, let's discuss and pray together, seeking God's will in all things.

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit." - 1 Peter 3:18 (NLT)

This verse underscores Jesus' selfless act, suffering for our sins to reunite us with God. It's a beautiful picture of His resurrection power, bringing life to our spirits. Let's pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for suffering for our sins, bridging the gap between us and the Father. Help us to grasp this truth more deeply and to live in the power of Your resurrection. We ask for Your guidance in our relationships, that they may honor You. Heal and restore marriages that are broken, and guide those in courtship to seek Your face together. Strengthen those struggling with sin, especially sexual immorality, and grant them the power to repent and walk in purity.

Lord, we also pray for those who don't know You personally. Reveal Yourself to them and draw them to Your saving grace. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
