De eerste brief van Petrus 2:9

There are many good reasons to pursue excellence in our work: Excellence advances our careers, grants us influence, and can lead to opportunities to share the gospel. But as this three day plan will show, we ought to pursue excellence for a much more fundamental reason—because excellence is how we best reflect the character of God and love and serve our neighbors as ourselves through out chosen work.

Ang pagiging una ng Diyos sa ating buhay ay hindi lamang minsan na kaganapan. . . ito ay panghabang-buhay na proseso sa bawat Kristiyano. Bago ka man sa pananampalataya o isa nang "beterano" na tagasunod ni Cristo, mapapansin mong madaling maunawaan at isabuhay ang gabay na ito, at isa itong napaka-epektibong pamamaraan para sa matagumpay na pamumuhay bilang Kristiyano.

We hope that this reading plan will inspire you to go on a journey in cultivating the fruit of patience in your life. In the past few years we have found that even though circumstances are not always pleasant, God will use them to mold our character. What He desires is for us to approach these trials with a Godly sense of patience.

This is about our identity in Christ. It focuses on what it is to be a child of the King of Kings. Knowing that identity changes our mindsets and keeps us aligned with His Word.
