Christ Gives the Good Life

Are you living the good life? If you define the good life like most Americans then maybe you’re not experiencing it right now. But the Bible says you can know the good life no matter what your circumstances might be. Even if your candidate didn’t win in the election. Even if the economy is affecting your income. Even if your marriage is not going well.

1 Peter was written to believers who were living in difficult times. They were persecuted by the government and they had difficulties at work and home. Yet in 1 Peter 3:8-12 they are given instruction on how they can know the good life even in trying times.

Jesus said that He came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. The life we have in Christ is so good that it transcends our circumstances. We just need to live out the life He has given us.
