1 Peter 4:17-19

1 Peter 4:17-19: For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?” Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

Discussion Questions:

What does judgment look like for an unbeliever? For a believer?

Thinking about who God is and what He is like, why does Proverbs tell us (and Peter remind us) that it is with much difficulty that the righteous are saved? In other words, why is it so hard to save someone?

Why do you think Peter says faithful “Creator” and not faithful “God” or something else?
