We are born again into a loving hope, in Christ Jesus
In the time of Peter, Christians were persecuted for their visibly witnessed beliefs.
There are people and organisations in the world that oppose Christ and those who follow him.
Living our life according to Christ's patterns, as we will live in the perfected future.
By living according to the hope we have people will ask us for the reason for that hope.
The Christian lives in the promises of God.
The Christian lives in a way that demonstrates sin being dealt with.
