Q3. (1:5) According to 1 Peter 1:5, what is God's part in securing your salvation? God promised to keep us safe by His power. What an awesome promise. God's promises are always fulfilled. What is your part? We need to be obedient, love the Lord our God, have faith in the Lord and walk in that faith. Believe that through Jesus we have salvation.

2. (1:2) Why do forgiveness (sprinkling) and obedience come together as a package? Why is it deceptive to think you can have one without the other?

By forgiving others, God will forgive us. When we follow God's commandments and turn away from sin we are being obedient. We will be deceiving ourselves if we we believe that we can have one without the other. If we believe in Jesus then we will have true faith and be obedient. Extra credit: God saved us by Grace when He sent Jesus to die on the Cross for our sins. We cannot earn Grace by doing good works, it is a gift from God.

They are caught up in everything around them and forget about their heavenly Father and His plan for them. Yes, it is easy to get caught up in things of this world. We need to stay in constant prayer with God and also read God's word daily along with corporate worship so we can get our spiritual priorities straight.
