The Christian should face suffering with the realisation that Christ is Lord and that we are to set Him apart as that in our lives. We explain our faith and hope out of this testimony.
Christ's sufferings were to bring us to God. We therefore ought to live our lives with the same attitude as Christ's.
Christians should:
Pray
Love
Be hospitable
Use our gifts
Speak the very words of God
Christians should avoid suffering because of our own stupidity or sin.
Christians should rejoice in participating in the sufferings of Christ. As we endure in it, we know we will be saved by God.
Oversight is to be exercised with real care, with willingness and a servant's heart. We must be gentle and caring.
God's grace is that He is gentle with us and calls us to be His people who show it to others. We are to be graceful in our dealings with others.
