Do we really know why we believe what we believe? Are we prepared to defend what we understand God’s word to teach? Are we willing to defend the hope that is in us in the face of persecution? These questions and more are considered as Brother Matt examines 1Peter 3:15 within the context of suffering for the sake of righteousness.

Standing fast in the faith goes far beyond defending “doctrine”. It begins with being grounded in those foundational principles but it hits home, literally, in our everyday experiences. Satan is a cunning, master deceiver and he will attempt to destroy us; often attacking the relationships within our family and within the church.

As children of God, we can expect to endure suffering in this life. In Romans 8, verses 15-17, Paul takes us from having received the Spirit of Adoption, to having the witness within as children of God, to being joint-heirs with Christ, to suffering with him, to being glorified together with him.
