We continue in our series CHRIST—Our Living Hope in 1 Peter! This week, we arrive at Peter's conclusion to a long section on everything from submission to governing authorities to what our response should be to all forms of conflict, whether slanderous attacks, maligning and reviling and how our responses should mirror those of Christ who suffered worse for our sakes. This week in Peter's conclusion to this section we learn how and why the Christian life is a long obedience in the same direction. Read 1 Peter 4:7-11 to prepare!
