1 Peter 4:16
“However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.”
Understanding this passage
Peter tells believers not to treat Christian suffering as a disgrace. Bearing Christ's name can be a reason to praise, even when it costs.
Why this verse helps
Persecution tries to make you ashamed of Jesus. This verse flips it: praise God that you belong to that name.
A prayer for you
Lord, I will not be ashamed of Your name. Help me praise You even when it costs. Amen.
