“In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” – 1 Peter 1:6-9
This is the third part of our journey through the book of 1 Peter. I really enjoyed this weeks passage and was truly moved by what Peter is saying to us here. The two major themes that I draw out of this text are for us to rejoice and to hope, and Peter herein gives us direction on why and how to do these two things as we further push to be conformed into Christ’s image.
