No Matter What

Is it possible to live the good life apart from any particular possessions or circumstances? The Apostle Peter tells us it is possible in 1 Peter 3:8-12.

Peter was writing to Christians who were living in a hostile environment. They were hated. They were slandered. They were mistreated. They were abused. They were persecuted. The circumstances of their lives were anything but fun. Yet, they could still live the good life by following the Apostle’s instruction.

Most of you listening to this are not in that kind of situation. But I seem to be constantly encountering dissatisfied, unfulfilled Christians. To listen to them talk, you would not get the impression that they were living the good life.

We need to pick up the Scripture and read passages like this one in 1 Peter and learn how to live the good life in an ungodly world. The Bible provides answers and brings joy to the believing heart.
