Living for God – 1 Peter 4:1-6

It is said that sometimes it may be easier to die for Christ than to live for Him. We could have an argument for or against this statement with valid reasons. The point is however, that in many ways it is not easy to live for God. This is because of the fact that our spirit has to compete with our fleshly/evil desires as well as the world which more often than not represent ungodly standards and systems. We can tell that Peter had this in mind as he wrote this passage.

What does Peter tell the believers to do?
