1 Peter 3:
13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not be afraid or worry about their threats.
15 Instead sanctify Messiah as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you a reason(logos) for the hope that is in you, yet with humility
and reverence—
16 keeping a clear conscience so that, whatever you are accused of, those who abuse you
for your good conduct in Messiah may be put to shame.
17 For it is better to suffer for doing good (if it is God’s will) than for doing evil.
We are instructed in this passage to “always be ready to give an answer to anyone who
asks for a reason(logos) for the hope that is in you”.
We have an expression in English to convey the point of getting to the heart of the matter
for clarity in conveying the truth. We say that ‘for all intents and purposes’, something
to be true.
The Logos of God conveys in a very pure sense His intent and purpose behind His creation.
The Truth that the Son of God is His Logos is fully expressed for “all intents and purposes”
in this one verse:
Revelation 4:11. You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.
Revelation 12:11. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word
(logos) of their testimony, and they did not love their lives even in the face of death.
