Peter is speaking to a
community that is being discriminated against and slandered. He tells this
Christian community that they are to live out of their new identity as the people
of God. In accordance with this new identity, they are to live such good lives
among non-believers, that though people may slander them and make false
accusations against them, ultimately the rest of the world will come to see for
themselves that these accusations are wrong. In this message we learn how our
way of life and interacting in the world is a major part of our testimony and
the power behind our witness as Jesus’ followers.
