Tremble at His Word - Part 5
Do all things without complaining

1Peter 2v21-23
Do good even if it means suffering, Christ is the example
Even what he went through He did not retaliate
He left is case in the hand of God who always judges fairly
We are to turn it over to God, we are not to retaliate, He is the avenger, but He does it in His way, not your way
He also avenges in His time not our time
Turn it over to God
This journey of being Christ like is a difficult time for many, we interact in a fallen world.

Are you willing to love and obey even if ....
Endurance also means to turn the cup into victory
