In a world often hostile to our faith, we are called to live as kingdom exiles, embracing our identity in Christ. Peter reminds us that we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation, set apart to live differently. As sojourners and exiles, we must resist the temptations of the flesh and live lives that reflect the holiness and righteousness of Christ. The pressure to conform is strong, but we are called to stand out and live boldly for God. By living honorably among non-believers and abstaining from sinful desires, we offer the world an alternative way of living that points to Christ. This week, let's focus on reflecting on our identity, resisting temptation, and living with integrity, kindness, and love in all our interactions. Our lives can be a powerful testimony to the transformative power of the gospel, bringing glory to God and impacting the world around us.
