How do Christians live as sojourners and exiles in the world? 1 Peter 2:11-12 teaches that the grace of God transforms both the worship of our hearts and the witness of our lives. While the world invites us to indulge our desires, Peter warns us against the deceit of sin and urges us to abstain from sinful passions. Pointing to our public witness, Peter declares that good deeds testify to the truth of the gospel and bring glory to God.
