| 0:00.0 | Do you live back over your life and when you think about it say, bless it be God, I praise you God, |
| 0:10.4 | I thank you God, I honor you, I exalt you, I love you for you caused me to be born again. |
| 0:21.7 | There are spiritual realities that will cause you to worship the Father if you see them |
| 0:27.7 | with the eyes of faith. In this episode of Light and Truth, John Piper looks at one of those |
| 0:35.3 | great realities from 1 Peter 1, 3 and 4. This sermon was originally preached at Bethlehem Baptist |
| 0:42.1 | Church on October 10, 1993. The goal of this sermon is set for us, for me and for you here in the |
| 0:54.7 | first phrase of verse 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:02.8 | That's Peter's response now to what he said, what he's about to say. He's about to say that God |

| 1:54.8 | He could have started off like a lecture and said my topic today is regeneration and I have four |
| 2:03.7 | or five relating doctrines, God, resurrection, hope, inheritance. And I now intend to speak |
| 2:20.5 | clear and decisive truth about these things. He could have just started like that, nothing |
| 2:25.2 | wrong with that. It's okay, but he didn't. When I read this text and I read how he began, |
| 2:34.9 | blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus. I think his hands were up, he had the writing, |
| 2:40.9 | his hands went up like this. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 2:46.1 | When I read that, I get a message about what I'm to do here and the message I get is you start |
