Theologian A.W. Tozer once said: “Modern Christians hope to save the world by being like it, but it will never work. The Church’s power over the world springs out of her unlikeness to it, never from her integration into it.” The struggle many Christians face is that desire to “fit in”, to be “normal”. They want to avoid the label of “Jesus freak” or “fanatic”. The truth is that if we are following the teachings of Jesus and his disciples, we will never quite fit in. It doesn’t mean we have to go out of our way to be strange or odd, but eventually our culture’s norms will clash with the teachings of Scripture. What we say and how we act in everyday situations will be scrutinized, evaluated, and judged (rightly or wrongly). In this passage, Peter tries to encourage believers that how we act is important, even if people accuse us of doing wrong. Our behavior becomes a reflection of God’s glory and ultimately leads to God being glorified because of our actions. The key is to recognize the fact that we are foreigners or sojourners in this world.
