Refute perceived differences in the Gospel between Peter and Paul from Sola Scriptura perspective
score:2
Peter's view that salvation is through faith in Jesus is evident. The difference is his epistles focuses more on the topic of sanctification through the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:2), which is a result of faith, but the underlying doctrine is the same.
1 Peter 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
In this next section, Bible verses also show that sanctification is a fruit of faith and is a theme preached by both apostles as a part of the gospel.
When the grace of God is received through faith, it has a sanctifying influence as we partake in divine nature (1 Peter 1:4, Romans 8:4) and die to self (1 Peter 2:5, Romans 6:6).
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Romans 6:12-13 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Too much emphasis is sometimes put on separating justification and sanctification. But if the heart in unrenewed, the belief of Christ is merely a theory, the seed of the gospel never takes root, and their belief is only external just as Satan and the demons also believe in Jesus.
