Let’s
check in with Peter, he knows how to spot a Christian. We can trust Peter, Jesus called him “the
rock!” Guess we can stand on Peter’s
words and not be led astray. Nice
things, luxury and comfort do not fit into his defining qualities of a
Christian, unfortunately. Check it out!
"Dear
friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test
you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as
you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when
his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you
are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it
should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as
a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise
God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s
household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do
not obey the gospel of God? And, 'If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what
will become of the ungodly and the sinner?' So then, those who suffer according to God’s
will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do
good." 1 Peter 4:12-19
