Q4. (2:11) Read 1 Peter 2:11 carefully. The world tells us (1) to conform and (2) that sin won't hurt us. What does Peter tell us to combat these lies? How can this reminder help us?
we as christians need to do quite the opposite.we must stick to our core values.abstain from sinful desires.

Q1. (2.5) Christians often look at their relation to God as consumers, delighting in what God does for them. What is the mindset of a priest towards God? What actions does this mindset inspire in you?

Q4. (1:6-7) Can you remember any instances in which God used difficult circumstances to refine and purify your faith? What did God accomplish in your life? How, exactly, does genuine, tested faith bring glory to Jesus?

i feel i have been through these sort of trials as most people probably have. the gift is what we take from that.these things have laid the foundations around the cornerstone that is Jesus to build up a building of faith.God accomplished in me the idea that you have to take the good with the bad.if there was no dark how could we appreciate the light.
