IS THIS WHO YOU ARE? 1 PETER 1:1 – 9
IS THIS WHO YOU ARE? 1 PETER 1:1 – 9
Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure. (v.2 BBE)
Thank you LORD for making me ‘me’. Are you grateful to GOD for who HE has made you in Christ Jesus? Take time to acknowledge (with praise and thanksgiving to GOD) the different wonders GOD is doing in you, your family, your people and friends. Pray that the grace of Jesus Christ will abound more to the salvation of all souls that are linked to (with) you. May the voice of joy and rejoicing never cease in your tent in Jesus name.
The introduction of this Epistle speaks of Peter the Apostle who through the purpose of GOD was made holy by the Spirit and the blood of Jesus Christ. It continued, Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,- is this who you are, the person that has a new birth with a living hope as you believe in the coming again of Jesus Christ, even after being raised from the dead? Is this who you are; someone who has been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and with the hope of goodly heritage in the Kingdom of GOD? If that is who you are, then you must do everything possible to keep your faith intact and your hope ever rising.
You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,- Trials, temptations or challenges to your belief will not stop. You shall continually be pressed from within and without. The enemy of the soul will raise (and has raised already) several people and events to make you lose faith and have your hope dashed. Beware of his challenges from your office, school or from friends. Do not be surprised that family issues from spouse, children or siblings and/or in-laws are there before you. Will you fail GOD and HIS Christ who had saved you and had given you this hope of eternal life? This trouble is for a little time; keep your soul from contamination; let your faith in Christ grow stronger and your light shines brighter and better. You are more than a conqueror in Christ.
May GOD’S power keep you safe and victorious in Jesus name.
