“So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentile and respectful way.” 1 Peter 3:14-16
There is one way and one way only when it comes to eternal hope. That way is through our loving and gracious Jesus Christ. When we begin to build our faith in the truths of Jesus, we begin to do things through his words and his thoughts. He is the road we travel and no other. When we confront obstacles along the way, we are able to remove them through our spiritually superhuman ways in prayer and faith. We believe in the unseen power of our God in heaven and not the ways of this world. We are spiritual beings and do not belong to this world. We are here as visitors only with a one-way ticket home through our faith in Jesus. Living in this world will present before us threats and persecution along the way. We are told not to worry or be afraid, but instead, to worship Christ as our Lord and Savior, with our eyes focused solely on him. The lives we live each day will reflect our trust and beliefs in his strength and joy in us. There will be those who watch us to see how we handle struggles in this life. We are to stay strong in Jesus and be ready to show and tell others of our hope in Him. We are also told to do these things in a gentile and respectful way. We are to represent the exact way Jesus handled the same kind of problems when he was on this earth. We must learn his truths and use them to show others the one way and only way to eternal hope through Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
