3-5 What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole.
6-7 I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it’s your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.
1Peter 1:3-7
The Message (MSG)
Ahh…..balm to my soul this morning!
It definitely was to mine as well!
Putting this one in a special place so I can go back to it. So very ministering for those moments when needed. Perfect passage for remembering what the Lord has promised us. Thank you.
It really is an encouraging and hopeful passage! May the Lord bring it back to mind when you need it.
