Dr. Boa teaches the conditions for deliverance from demonic influence or oppression. He then introduces the weapons of our warfare beginning with the armor of God.
Peter encourages his readers, in light of the brevity of life, to be stewards of the grace of God. To live each day with a doxological purpose. In speaking and in service, make it such for the glory of God.
Peter continues to prepare his readers for upcoming persecution and opposition. He encourages them to always be prepared to make a defense for the hope that is in them. Dr. Boa expounds on this notion of turning from fear to faith and sanctifying Christ as Lord in our hearts so that the shalom within us becomes evident to others.
Dr. Boa focuses on two verses (1 Peter 3:8-9) a little transitional section dealing with our relationship with the believing community as well as our relationship to those who oppress and oppose us. It is a lifestyle of love.
