1. 1 Peter 4:11 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How does fulfilling the imperatives of 1 Peter 4:7–11 glorify God?

1 Peter 4:11 (ESV)

11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Peter had earlier indicated that gifts come from God (1 Peter 4:10), oracles come from God (1 Peter 4:11), and strength comes from God (1 Peter 4:11). As God’s people use his gifts to serve the brotherhood, the Giver of these gifts is praised.
