Built on Christ. 1 Peter 2:1-12Our authenticity as individuals and as a collective body is not merely a superficial display but rather a reflection of our deep-rooted connection to Christ. As we explore these verses together, let us prayerfully consider how we can cultivate authenticity in our lives and in our church, drawing ever closer to the One who is the ultimate source of truth and love.He must never give the world a chance to justly accuse and down him. The believer must abstain from fleshly lusts: he must live an honest life, do exactly what he proclaims and professes.We must, therefore, live for Christ and do good works. When unbelievers see our righteous lives and good works, they will experience the day of God’s visitation and glorify God. The day of visitation means two things:1.The day a man is visited by God to bring the man to repentance and salvation.2.The day God will visit the earth for final judgment.The day of visitation is the day of God’s inspection and salvation, the day when He saves a man. It is also the day when He returns to earth as Savior and Lord. The idea is that unbelievers will be won to Christ by our honest lives and glorify God in the great day when He shall visit the earth.
