Now please turn back over to I Peter 2, verse 11. Peter's first epistle also refers to the called-out ones as travelers, and Peter addresses the Christian communities depicting them as pilgrims and strangers living as exiles because of social alienation, widespread societal persecution, and other things that our present culture does in the opposite direction of God's way of life.
This glorifies God. Others will eventually realize that only Christian living or Christ living in us allows us to be honest citizens, productive employees, and caring neighbors. They will realize that our way of life depends on God's love and help.
