Because the early Christians were accused falsely of all sorts of outrageous behavior, Peter urged his readers in I Peter 2:11-25 to be especially careful to live such honorable lives that even their enemies would end up glorifying God. This calling was especially difficult, because they often found themselves in unfair situations that they were powerless to change, in which they suffered unjustly. Amazingly, God called them and calls us to endure unjust suffering and gave us the highest motivation for doing so: Christ already endured unjust suffering for us.
When we fulfill the roles assigned to us by God, both children and parents end up happier.
Believers can rejoice with shouts of praise, because God is the king over all the nations.
Was the incarnation of the Son of God really necessary, and if so why?
