Peter wrote about it in the same verse: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

In our culture, there's a proverb: "What fills the heart, spills out through the tongue." Similarly, Jesus Himself says, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34).

Therefore, we suggest you take Peter's advice and fill your hearts with "the Lord Christ.
