Aim: To behave as citizens of heaven, even while on earth.
Why good behavior glorifies God: because it brings His truth down to the earth, and because it proves His people as authentic.
Exegesis: Attitudinal preparation for good behavior: let us arm ourselves with courageous resolve (vv. 13-14), humble testimony (v. 15), and steadfast faith (vv. 16-17).
Further application: The heart of good behavior: it always flows from a loving relationship with Christ, and it always believes the gospel—even in the face of persecution.
Key verse: v. 13 ''And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?''
