1 Peter 3. Day 203 - The New Testament in a Year

Instructions on Marriage.  Instructions on Christian living.  Respond to Evil with Blessings

 "Finally, all of you be like-minded and sympathetic, love one another, and be compassionate and humble, not paying back evil for evil or insult for insult but, on the contrary, giving a blessing, since you were called for this, so that you may inherit a blessing."  - 1 Peter 3:8-9

Have you ever wondered how to respond to opposition as a Christian? In 1 Peter Chapter 3, we are given a roadmap for living godly lives in our marriages, communities, and even in the face of suffering. Peter addresses the importance of humility and submission in marriage, calling wives and husbands to honor each other as co-heirs of God’s grace. We also learn the power of blessing others, even when wronged, as a witness to the world.

This chapter doesn’t shy away from the reality of suffering for righteousness, but instead encourages us to be prepared to defend our faith with gentleness and respect. Together, we’ll see how God’s eyes are on the righteous, and how He blesses those who stand firm, offering hope and peace even in the most challenging circumstances.
