This week, Matt Larson teaches through 1 Peter 1:3-5, where Peter talks (amongst other things) about the amazing, living hope that we have found in Jesus. When you understand the theological reality that Peter has established, it gives you a true and deep sense of confidence. You are not living for the approval of man, but from the gift of God. That confidence allows you to live faithfully and even, living unaffected by the cultural coercion around you.
