We can have hope in this  very dark world by anticipating the light that Jesus has come to bring.

Peter gives us the promise of victory in our living hope as we follow his final exhortations to live right.

We should not be surprised by suffering as a Christian but through it allow God to do His work in and through us.

We must feel the urgency of sharing our living hope by knowing our time to do so is limited.

Even in the struggle of this life, we have the hope of victory as we accept the power of Christ in our lives.

Personal holiness is not just a matter of the heart but must be demonstrated in a lifestyle which honors God.

God challenges us to live good lives which can be most effectively displayed in our homes.

Our life can glorify God as we choose to live in accordance to his will.
