In this sermon from 1 Peter 3, Scott Aniol explains how Christians should live as sojourners and exiles in an increasingly hostile world. Peter calls believers to be marked by unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, tenderheartedness, and humility—qualities that are essential for a church seeking to remain faithful under pressure. Scott explains that the blessing Christians offer their enemies is ultimately the blessing of the gospel. Because believers already possess an imperishable inheritance in Christ, they can freely proclaim redemption to the very people who hate and mistreat them. Drawing from Psalm 34, Peter reminds suffering Christians that God sees them, hears their prayers, and will judge evil perfectly. Because vengeance belongs to the Lord, believers do not need to take judgment into their own hands. Instead, they can pursue peace, trust the righteous Judge, and seek the salvation of those who oppose them. Ultimately, Jesus Christ is the perfect example. When He was reviled, He did not revile in return. Through suffering, the cross, and resurrection, Christ conquered sin, death, and hell. Christians therefore do not measure victory by earthly power, but by faithful obedience, gospel witness, and the hope that even those who once reviled them may one day stand beside them glorifying God.
