Miscellaneous
After summing up our calling as Christians in various circumstances and reminding us that the Lord will look with favor on the righteous, Peter now calls us to fear God and not man. He calls us to make the name of Jesus hallowed in our every moment rather than worrying about the opinions of man. We should not fear the persecution, rather rejoice in the opportunity to suffer alongside Jesus for the sake of the Gospel. We should not worry about the approval of man, but solely seek the approval of our Lord. We need to hope in the promises of God.
