1 Peter

Christians should expect suffering for their faith and respond by trusting God and continuing to do good.

Christians should prepare for Christ's return by staying prayerful, loving earnestly, offering hospitality, and using their spiritual gifts, all for the glory of God.

Living to please Jesus will invite criticism, but remain steadfast, trust him, and view challenges as opportunities to share your faith.

Live holy, selfless lives of service, submission, and integrity to positively impact others, trusting God with the results.

True holiness is shown through genuine love for fellow Christians, and spiritual growth requires letting go of unloving behaviors toward others.
