We’re to live honorable lives in good conduct. That’s not just for outsiders in the world to see, but for those in our own home.

Peter gives wives the hope that an unbelieving husband could be saved by her good conduct.

Wives are to respect their husbands, just for their position, if not for their own conduct and character.

Women, our beauty is a gentle and quiet spirit. That is precious in God’s sight. Submit to your husband. A quiet spirit doesn’t mean not speaking up, but it means not insisting and demanding. It means not fearing and manipulating, but trusting God to take care of you when you think your husband is doing things all wrong.

Men are to honor their wives as well. If they don’t treat her with honor, their prayers are hindered.

We are all to have soft hearts and compassion for others. We are to have unity, one mind. In order to achieve that, we are to have humble minds. We don’t think we know it all. We rely on Jesus to be our Truth and the Holy Spirit to lead us into the truth.

We forgive and bless. We don’t pay back. We pursue peace and hold our tongues.

God hears the prayers of the righteous.

And if we are righteous, then we live in blessing, even if we are suffering for it.

Again, Jesus is our example. He was righteous and He suffered for the unrighteous. It had purpose though, to bring us to God. Trust God has purpose in your life.

Noah’s family was saved being brought through the water. We are saved going through the water of baptism because Jesus is resurrected in us.

Noah’s faith saved his family. Have faith in God that He loves and cares for your family and wants to see them safe with Him. Trust God with your family.
