1 Peter 3:13-17
Here we see a compelling case to live for the Lord in righteousness, joy, holiness, and the peace that comes from a pure conscience. As believers, we can expect suffering and persecution, but we can still remain joyful and experience God’s peace through the rough times. Though these trials are hard and painful, suffering for well-doing produces sweet fruit unto the Lord. Our responsibility is to maintain a good conscience, keeping God preeminent, and sharing our hope with others irrespective of what we are going through. This is acceptable with God. May we learn to handle suffering graciously, allowing it to sanctify God in our lives and point others to the hope that is found exclusively in him.
