Living Before The World

[11] Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; [12] Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

• Predestination

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

• Inviolable
• Truth

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

• Atonement

Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

• Works

Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

• Call

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

• DAVID
• Decision

I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

• Atonement
• Lamb

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

• Pit

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

• Character

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

• Character
• Righteous

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
