HAVE YOU CEASED FROM SIN?
What did Peter mean in 1 Peter 4:1-2? Did Jesus cease from sin because of his suffering? Or, did we cease from sin because of our suffering. What is the correct interpretation of these verses?

Excellent teaching Reg. Thank-you for sharing this.
Sin is why our Saviour was sacrificed for us. To the extent we continue to sin, I view it as adding to the burdens Christ had to bear for us in his suffering. You said it so well, we can't avoid our flesh and sin until we die . . but avoiding sin should always be our focus.
Thank You also Reg. This is a critical teaching because adopting the mindset of Christ means to reject sin. The "Once Saved Always Saved" crowd would tell you that sin doesn't matter after you are saved. This is NOT adopting the mindset of Christ.
