25. God's plan for our lives versus "aimless conduct."
(I Peter 1:18) "For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed to you from your forefathers."
My faith and hope are in God, not my own abilities.
(I Peter 1:21) "Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God."
Aimless conduct is:
* My natural bent.
* Received from my fathers.
* The law of generations. (I Peter 4:19) "So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good."
