These mindset munitions include living for the will of God, rejoicing in our partnership with Christ, and entrusting our souls to our Creator. Let’s prayerfully think on these things until they become the attitudes of our hearts

Jesus suffered in our place so that we would be made right with God, and is now exalted and above all things. Christians find strength in this Good News, knowing that He has rescued us from sin and death, and will come again to rescue us forever. While we wait for his return, Jesus is actively involved in our obedience through the Holy Spirit, helping us provide a witness to those around us.

Christian sojourners are citizens of Christ’s kingdom who live in the world. This will bring some level of suffering to the ones who remain faithful to Christ. When we suffer for righteousness' sake, there is a way to respond that brings honor to Christ, keeps us out of the cycle of evil, and is used by God to bring people to repentance and faith in him. Christ himself suffered in this way. We follow in his steps.

From the government to the workplace to marriage, Peter now turns to the congregation to exhort Christians to express honorable qualities among themselves. When Christians live together in this way, they glorify Christ, sustain one another through the sufferings of the sojourning life, and show unbelievers the honorable conduct that God’s grace produces in them. Let us pray that these qualities increase among us, and pursue them in obedience to Christ.

Marriage matters, and God calls husbands and wives to live honorably in their marriages. If we believe this, we will look and listen to what God has revealed in the Bible about marriage, receive what he said a marriage is, and conform our lives as husbands and wives to his will. In a culture of marital chaos and pain, Peter’s instructions come to us as order and sanity, healing and wholeness, and goodness and love.

The workplace provides a place to do good work, earn a living, and reflect the grace of God. When the workplace becomes a hardship for Christians, we have a particular way to live honorably by following the example of Christ. Our driving motivation is always to be like Christ and bring glory to God in everything we do.
