I Peter 2:11-2:12

A Christian's Response to Grace

Human beings, as a group, are an impressionable group. If you took ten people and told nine of them the moon was made of cream cheese, eventually they would convince the tenth, no matter how much he or she knew about astronomy! That?s why it's so important for Christians to lead Godly lives... to be examples for the rest of the world. That's Peter's message in First Peter chapter two, verses eleven and twelve.

  1. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
  2. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
