Top Highlights
“Our faith isn’t tested because God doesn’t know how much or what kind of faith we have. It is tested because we often are ignorant of how much or what kind of faith we have. God’s purpose in testing is to display the enduring quality of our faith.” (1 Peter 1:6–9)
“Since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind: The commitment God calls us to have is nothing greater than the commitment Jesus had in enduring suffering for our salvation. In the last days we need to have a commitment to God that will endure through great struggles.” (1 Peter 4:1–2)
“We must give ourselves to serious prayer. As we see the weight of eternity rushing towards us, we dare not take the need for prayer lightly.” (1 Peter 4:7)
“kept by the power of God. This enables us to endure through faith until the coming of Jesus” (1 Peter 1:3–5)
“we must simply stop being double-minded and start living as Christians” (1 Peter 4:3–6)
