1 Peter 2:15–"For this is the will of a God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people."
This is an interesting verse, as is most of Peter's epistle. Peter is saying, quite plainly, that Christians are called to live a certain life, with a specific ethic. We are commanded to live lives of character and of integrity, recognizing that we should give no reason(s) whatsoever for anyone to discredit Christ due to the flaws in our own lives and testimonies. It could be said that this is one of the primary ways in which Christians are called to evangelize and minister to the world: by living lives of authenticity and character. This is our task. Let us pray for the strength and wisdom to fulfill this task with excellence and honesty.
