The Weapon of a STEADFAST Mentality 1 Peter 4:1-11 The picture of 1 peter ch. 4 is that of a soldier who puts on his equipment and arms himself for battle. Our attitudes are weapons, and weak or wrong attitudes will lead us to defeat. Outlook determines outcome, and a believer must have the right attitudes if he is to live a right life. It is easy for Christians to get accustomed to sin. Instead of having a militant attitude that hates and opposes it, we gradually get used to sin, sometimes without even realizing it. The one thing that will destroy “the rest of our time” is sin. A believer living in sin is a terrible weapon in the hands of Satan. Satan will try to pull you away from God and His people when the trials come. He not only wants to destroy you but all of God’s work. Be Armed, Be Aimed, Be Adamant, and Be Agreeable!
