(Lesson 2215)(01-01-18) 1 Peter 3:14-17
“But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.”
Today’s quote is an admonition for the children of God to be, knowledgeable, humble and longsuffering in our work for the Lord. We are to study God’s word so as to be prepared to answer any question regarding our faith. I regularly incounter many who claim the mantel of Jesus Christ, and profess to have given their hearts to Him, but yet haven’t a clue how to defend a challenge to their belief.
We, today’s disciples of Christ, should much more seriously take on our obligation to learn, teach and defend the word of God at all times and under any conditions. ~
