I Peter 2:22-26 | We all need to be prepared to deal with criticism. Criticism is inevitable in this life. As Christians, how we respond to and handle criticism reveals the level of our faith in God. Handling criticism gracefully is possible because Jesus vividly portrayed it, and He’s our example.

I Peter 3:14-16 | We have solid reasons for what we believe, and every Christian needs to be well versed in them. This doesn’t mean we should try to bully people into accepting our positions on faith, but we can gently and humbly challenge those who oppose our beliefs.
