I nearly forgot today to write on my blog!
i am starting a new series on 1 peter. looking at the themes I find that peter talks a lot about suffering and persecution/trials and continuing to live in God grace. Especially since I am going to be encountering a lot of trials and I have.
Reading just 12 verses is like a lot to take in. promises and encouragement to continue.
Through Christ death and resurrection we have the privilege under God's grace living in a new life with this inheritance of salvation. Though through many harsh trials we under go we are like being tested and refined, like gold that is being refined. We should never give up where/what God desires us to be and where the spirit is moving because even the angels wants to know this!
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
1peter 1:6-7 (NLT)
