—1 Peter 3:13-19
by: Benny Uhlich.
In a perfect world, nobody would hate those that do good. But because our world is not perfect, there are those that will hate us despite the goodness of our deeds. But also, there will be times that we will be hated because of our deeds as well. When that happens, we should feel blessed because we are following God, the most perfect and holy being in existence. So, when we are persecuted for our belief and respond with love and kindness, we look good while those doing the persecuting look foolish. Because Christ suffered for our sins, we know our suffering on Earth is only temporary.
