If you want to live an authentic Christian life, speak the truth, pursue peace, and let God reign supreme in every sphere of your life. By this we “honour Christ as holy” and become zealous for doing good.

When Jesus calls us to follow him, he calls us to a life abounding in truth and full of grace. Even in suffering and hostile environments, we are meant to pursue peace amidst evil because we are blessed in knowing that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is ours. God is for us, and so we do not fear those who can kill the body but rather fear the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell. May we be zealous for doing good, defending our faith by our gentleness and respect, whilst holding fast to the gospel — that “Christ suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God” and is now seated “at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.”
