Arm Yourself for Sanctification

You cannot approach sanctified Christian living as that which flows automatically out of the life of the believer. Rather, Peter encourages you to arm yourself continually with the mindset of Jesus Christ. He came with a mission to suffer for our sins. You must be willing to suffer as well knowing that the world will not love you for it. But those who are judged in the flesh (by fellow man) are those who live in the spirit (by God's judgment).
