Respect for others
The apostle Peter writes,
“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” 1 Peter 3:15,16.
Love and respect are two of the cornerstones of the Christian faith. If we do not show love and respect to those around us, they will not listen to us.
We must at all times love and respect even our worst enemy.
At the same time we must be willing and ready to present the Gospel of Christ that gives us our hope, even in the darkest times of our life.
If you consider yourself a Christian. A true follower of Christ Jesus, are you showing respect to those around you irrespective of whether you agree with them or not?
Please think about it.
