Example set by persecuted Christians is both 'inspiring' and 'convicting,' says Pennsylvania evangelist

As believers reflect on the lessons gained during Lent, many consider how they may more fully live out their faith each and every day. As 1 Peter 3:18 reminds the faithful, "For Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous, that he might lead you to God. Put to death in the flesh, he was brought to life in the spirit." This Bible verse comes from the First Epistle of Peter, a letter to a persecuted group of Christians. The epistle is believed to have been written by the apostle Peter in the mid-first century, says the website Bible Study Tools.
