1 Peter 4 emphasizes the importance of living with an eternal perspective and loving one another as Christ loves us. It urges us to live for God as those who have already died to this world. There will be judgment for those who don't follow Christ, therefore we shall live a life of holiness and avoid sin. Above all, we should love one another earnestly and hospitably, using our gifts to serve each other as faithful stewards of God's grace. Peter reminds us that we should be willing to suffer for our faith since Christ also suffered.
