Do good because it is good!

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 fear their threats^[b]; do not be frightened.”^{[c] 15} But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, ¹⁶ keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. ¹⁷ For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. ¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. ¹⁹ After being made alive,^[d] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— ²⁰ to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, ²¹ and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God.^[e] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, ²² who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

There is power in doing good. God said, keep a clear conscience so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ  may be ashamed of their slander. I am in awe of this sentence: For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. Christ died so that I the unrighteous can be saved can meet God one day and have a relationship with Him. Christ's job and calling was just to do that. I know that but when I read that verse i get a peek at God's love. Its the same thing as a person who wanted another person to live on and took on the death sentence himself, so that the unrighteous can live on. God is God. If a human want through the test, he would have failed terribly, because he would be concentrating on himself and himself only. Because God gave all of us the grace, that is why we can receive this amazing grace of salvation.
