Do Things for God Because You Love Him: Do Not Do Things to Please Men


1 Pedro 4:1-5 Cómo quiere Dios que vivamos

 Por tanto, puesto que Cristo ha padecido en la carne, armaos también vosotros con el mismo propósito, pues quien ha padecido en la carne ha terminado con el pecado, para vivir el tiempo que le queda en la carne, no ya para las pasiones humanas, sino para la voluntad de Dios.  Porque el tiempo ya pasado os es suficiente para haber hecho lo que agrada a los gentiles, habiendo andado en  sensualidad, lujurias, borracheras, orgías, embriagueces y abominables idolatrías.

Y en todo esto, se sorprenden de que no corráis con ellos en el mismo desenfreno de disolución, y os ultrajan;   pero ellos darán cuenta a aquel que está preparado para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.  Porque con este fin fue predicado el evangelio aun a los muertos, para que aunque sean juzgados en la carne como hombres, vivan en el espíritu conforme a la voluntad de Dios.


Living for God
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. 1Peter 4:1-5 KJV

God is Love 1John 4:16
