teaching notes : 1 pet. 5:6 - 5:10
theme :
therefore
because god gives grace to the humble (but is opposed to the proud)
humble yourselves under the mighty hand of god, that he may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you
1. humility here is before god
"under the mighty hand of god"
pronouns are all god "that he may exalt you at the proper time" , "on him", etc...
2. reasons to humble ourselves
- god gives grace to the humble (immediate context?)
- god will exalt you at the proper time (future; major theme of the book)
luke 14:7-11 (humble yourself so god can raise you up)
3. casting all our anxiety on him is associated with humility?
- trusting that god cares for you
- recognizing that god is in charge (mighty hand of god?)

satan is real
don't ignore it...
spiritual warfare is real
resisting him is...standing firm in your faith, fulfilling the things in 1 peter
look to the end.
