Description

Are you compassionate toward those around you? Are you truly sensitive to them and their needs?

Peter encouraged the believers in his day to act out who they really were, even when they were under persecution. He told them that to relate to others, they should do so with a Christian conduct.

In this message, Dr. Stanley details five characteristics that Peter says can help build strong Christian relationships. Since we have the Spirit of God within us, we ought to be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit. When others mistreat us, we should not respond with vengeance but look for a reason to bless them instead. What you say and how you act have more impact on your testimony than you might imagine.

This message is part of the series, Living Triumphantly: A Study of First Peter, and covers 1 Peter 3:8-12.
