A Life Worth Loving
Peter quotes Psalm 34 to show that God's desire for believers is a "life worth loving" and "good days." Commentators explain this isn't just about a long life, but a truly blessed existence. This includes a peaceful, happy life on earth that flows from godly character, as well as the ultimate promise of eternal life in heaven. This desirable life is attainable for those who follow God's way.
