1 Peter 3:13
Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good?
While it’s true that the apostles were put through numerous trials and tribulations, including death, by following His example; and it’s also true that good individuals have suffered persecution, while laboring to do good. Let’s not lose sight of the meaning behind the verse.
Although we are subject to ridicule and harsh criticism at times, please embrace the reality of the end results of obedience to Him.
What is that? Simply put…that a life of integrity, and benevolence, is conducive to safety, even in a very wicked world.
But, we can’t do it without HIM.
How? By being in compliance to His message and Word and doing good, or trying to aspire to a higher realm of spirituality through His guidance, and commandments, we are essentially growing in depth and acceptance of Him through, and by our actions.
But, we can’t do it without HIM.
To take it further, individuals with a pure joy from within, and who live to do the right thing on a daily basis, and who are inherently benevolent by being imitators of God, usually are those who live their lives in a “rainbow perspective” which is to say, they are protected by His perfect peace, His covenant, Gospel, and His love, which is the highest kind of security we could possibly hope for.
But we can’t do it without HIM.
An individual who attempts to live a holy and pure life every single day, will invariably work their way through life on earth, safely, all within the confines of His “protective wings” which ultimately will bring them to their rewards in Heaven.
But we can’t do it without HIM.
Eternal rewards. How comforting life forever more!
And it’s all because of HIM.
Thank you Father!
Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
