For The Sake Of Conscience Toward God



1 Peter 2:19,20


For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.
For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.


*
Even if our masters are unreasonable and harsh we are to endure it
for the sake of God, because it pleases God and we find His favor. When
we are harshly treated for our sins then we deserve it, but when we have
done no wrong yet receive unjust treatment then we are to endure with patience.



I want to find God's favor and I want to act with regards to "for the sake of conscience toward God" and bear up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.
Keep this in my mind.
