Peter took it for granted that true believers would be about the business of sharing the faith—but there are many reasons why we are hesitant to do so. In this sermon, Alistair Begg describes the attitude we should have and the actions we should take to prepare our hearts and minds to be ready to share the reason for our hope. While sharing Christ may result in temporary suffering, by focusing fully on Jesus we may rest secure in the joy that is to come.
13Now cwho is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14dBut even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. eHave no fear of them, fnor be troubled, 15but gin your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, halways being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and irespect, 16jhaving a good conscience, so that, kwhen you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17For lit is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
