In our text in 1 Peter today, Peter tells us that the way that we live gives us opportunities to talk about what we really believe. As a follower of Christ, we believe that there is a day coming when Christ will return to this earth and take us to heaven to be with him. Because of that hope, we should be living differently. When the people around us see that we live differently, they make cause problems for us. But they may ask us why we live differently. And when that question comes, we need to be ready to give an answer for our hope. Today, as we look at 1 Peter 3:14--18, think about your own life and the way that you live. Does your life show that you believe something different than those around you believe? If your life doesn’t show that, what do you need to change?
