How God is Glorified

Peter refers to something that usually happens to Christians when they are being attacked.  The person or persons attacking will refer to Jesus or Christianity in a derogatory manner.  There may be sarcastic references that you are behaving contrary to what the other person expects believers to do.  There is often mean references to your lack of intelligence in believing in a book written thousands of years ago (1 Peter 4:14).


But all their words and anger are directed to demean Christ.  But in the middle of this pain we are experiencing, God is being glorified in us.  Either we will learn where we can better reflect Christ, or we will ultimately grow stronger in our faith.  Lastly, in every case of persecution, no matter the form, we will see how Jesus was glorified through us when we stand before him.
