       How was Jesus faithful in his life to God, though? Again, Peter notes that: “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness” (1 Peter 2:21-24, ESV). For the Christian truly walking the Christian life, there are going to be trials and tribulations, just like anyone else has in the world. The difference is that we as Christians can work through them while we trust in God to get us through them. Unbelievers don't know God and therefore cannot have the benefit of trusting in him through their trails and troubles.
