11Dear friends (Beloved), I urge (appeal to, beg, invite, request) you, as aliens (Dispersion related) and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your (whole person) soul. 12Live such good lives (beautiful, good, noble) among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong,
they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
1 Peter 2: 11-12 (NIV)
The goodness and beauty of our lives should silence our critics. Even in the midst of trials, our good works and beauty should be evident.
What is the environment the church faces today?
How important is example and “right living in the Body of Christ?”
The “separated” life of a Christian, a true believer, is one of the most powerful means God has of convicting the world of its sin.
