The Fellowship of Believers

The Apostle Peter tells believers living in the hostile environment of the Roman Empire that they can live the good life in 1 Peter 3:8-12. This same instruction is true today for believers living in places like Iran, Iraq, and India – all places where Christians have recently been suffering.

But this instruction is just as necessary for believers living in San Antonio. We face the danger of thinking that the good life consists of what the society around us chases after. We need to be reminded of what the good life really consists of.

Peter reminds us that the good life is found in the fellowship of believers where the attitude is that of harmony, sympathy, brotherly love, kindheartedness, and humility. What we have together as believers is something to be cherished. In Christ we have a life that is worth sharing.

Are you enjoying that kind of fellowship? Are you sympathetic, kindhearted and humble towards other believers?
