* Luis Alberto Alves
God makes it very clear that as we suffer because of you, our name will be written and confirmed in the Book of Life. We will not lose salvation. We will have reserved the house in eternity, where we will walk on golden streets and praise the Lord for eternity.
Jesus Christ will be joyful because we refuse the rules of the world to obey Him. Even as we try to take our lives, we will be sure that Jesus will be our very present help in affliction and anguish. Nothing will bring us down.
It is this suffering that Peter highlights in his letter. That's when we choose to raise the gospel flag and uphold the fairness of God's Word in any situation. Even the one where most think they are right, as it is today.
Therefore, my brothers, be glad to suffer for the preaching of the Gospel. Do not be ashamed of Christ. Smile when someone calls you crazy or fanatic or grimace. Remember that Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross because of your life. Be proud to suffer for the Lord and your reward is to live in Heaven.
