If we are trying hard every day to live a wholesome Christian Life, God will be pleased with us. We may suffer in the flesh, but we will receive Spiritual Blessings from God. When people ask us why we are serving God we need to be ready to witness to them about our Salvation and always answer them with respect and Love. It is far better to suffer at man's hands for doing good, than to suffer by God's for not receiving His Son Jesus!!!
13 If you are always trying to do good, no one can really harm you.
14 But you may suffer for doing right. If that happens, you have God’s blessing. “Don’t be afraid of the people who make you suffer; don’t be worried.”
15 But keep the Lord Christ holy in your hearts. Always be ready to answer everyone who asks you to explain about the hope you have.
16 But answer them in a gentle way with respect. Keep your conscience clear. Then people will see the good way you live as followers of Christ, and those who say bad things about you will be ashamed of what they said.
17 It is better to suffer for doing good than for doing wrong. Yes, it is better if that is what God wants.
