CHRISTAINS LIVING AMONG NON-CHRISTAINS >>CHRISTSINS ARE CHOSEN RACE AND ROYALHOOD.

In most cases, people are often jealous of christains and are very fast at pointing accusing fingers at them to show that they are not righteousness as they claim to be. They should be disciplined in all their conducts knowing fully well that they are under watchful eyes of non-christains who are very critical of them. 

ST. PETERS TEACHING ON THE EXPECTED LIFESTYLE OF A CHRISTAIN LIVING AMONG NON-CHRISTAIN

          St. Peters in his message tried to warn christains to abstain from any form of socual vices and maintain high moral standard of living. As earlier people are found making false accusations against christains, therefore is need for christains to live decently in order to stamp out such allegations against them.

                       CHRISTAINS AS A CHOSEN RACE AND ROYAL PRIESTHOOD
