1 Peter2:9-25:
- Peter advised that Christians should abstain
from the passion of the flesh. - Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles,
- if they speak against them as wrong doers, they may see your good deeds
and glorify God. - They should be subject to evey human institution i.e. to
the Emperor or to Governors who have power to punish or praise, - By doing
right, they would silence the ignorance of foolish-men, - They should live
as free men but do not use their freedom as pretext for evil, - They should live as servants of God.
- Honour all men
- Love the
brotherhood - Fear God.
- Honour the Emperor.
Three ways to promote good relationship:
- Participation in community development projects with non Christians,
- Contribution towards the needs of non-Christians,
- Participation in social
activities with non-Christians, - Accommodation of programmes and activities
of non-Christians, - Acceptance of non-Christians in Christian institution
e.g. schools, - Attendance at programmes of non-Christians,
- Educative
interaction about other religions, - Religious tolerance,
- Being well
informed about the other religions, - Showing good examples/Being role
models.
