Life in God’s service ( Peter 2:18-25)

Christians in the service of God should follow the good example of Jesus Christ who render faithful and logical service to God and endure the suffering that we
might encounter.
In the Bible Peter advised servants to be submit to their master , both the good and bad ones.he also advised that there is no glory for suffering justly.
God is our king and we are his servants in all suffering,and trouble, we should not complain or fight back , we should leave all matters in the hands of God in whose service we are saved
