As far as I know, God’s principles work no matter the changing seasons in this life. He inspired David to say what you must do if you want to love life and see good days in Psalm 34:14-17.
Starting chapter 3 of the 1st Epistle of Peter, the Apostle did an awesome work of writing about specific instructions to wives first and then to husbands. However, from verses 8 through 9, he continues to give seven general godly instructions to the brethren in Christ. Today, I’m glad to write about them in this article. I believe it’ll be helpful to you in your faith journey with Jesus.
Godly marriage is a reflection of the relationship Jesus has with the Church. So, if a husband doesn’t love and relate to his wife like Jesus does with the Church, God’s system is under compromise. And since God never changes, He would prefer to discipline you for you to come back to your senses instead of compromising to accommodate your wrong character. Learn how the Bible explains how important it is for believing husbands to live with their wives with understanding.
Dear believing wife, you’re also a seed of Abraham (see Galatians 3:29) because you’re in Christ. So call your husband “lord.” He should be your second in command in life; the first is God. Submit to him. Relate to him in a quiet and gentle spirit, not a rebellious character; else, you’ll ruin his peace of mind. And above all, follow God’s principle in relating to all people in all calmness and gentility.
We children of God, were called not just to believe in Jesus but also to suffer for his sake (see Philippians 1:29). That means it’s erroneous to think there’s no suffering for you when you come to Christ. There is, but since Jesus becomes the author and finisher of your faith, no situation will be able to weigh you down in life.

In the world of work, many people complain about how bad their bosses are. Some want to enjoy freedom at the workplace, doing whatever they like with company resources without fulfilling the tasks the company hired them to do. And this has made several workplaces lack hardworking and loyal employees who rarely don’t need supervision to do what they are supposed to do. Apostle Peter nails this behaviour hard with three scriptures: 1 Peter 2:18-20. Delve into today’s study scripture article, which speaks of why you should submit to your boss no matter what.

From 1 Peter 2:13 – 3:7, the Apostle Peter expounded on the various types of submissions we believers must give to one another. And in today’s study scripture article release, I want to focus on 1 Peter 2:13-17, where Peter explains why a believer ought to submit himself to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake.
How many times have you flipped through Paul’s second epistle to Timothy and saw the words “In the last days, perilous times will come…”? It’s there in 2nd Timothy 3:1. Right? But how profound is that warning to us believers of today? I tell you that it’s even more solemn today than the time the epistle was written. Why? Because the second coming of Jesus is nearer than before.
Verse 11 and downwards of 1 Peter chapter 2 opens a new area of teaching where Apostle Peter speaks on how the children of God ought to live in this fallen world. One of them is the necessity for a believer to abstain from fleshly lusts.
