Compelling Faith in Marriage | 1 Peter 3:1-7
When Christians pursue good deeds and godly living in marriage, spiritual benefits follow. Do you want your husband to come to faith? Then display a gentle and quiet spirit, reflecting Christ’s character. Husbands, do you want your prayers answered and God’s favour to be upon you and your marriage? Then treat your wife in a considerate way. These practical steps lead to remarkable spiritual results. In this study we learn that God calls wives and husbands to show Jesus in their marriage by fulfilling their God-given role, cultivating godly character and trusting in God.
