May Grace + Peace Be Multiplied

< BACK TO ALL

1 Peter 1:1-12 | Peace. It's elusive. Especially when life is hard.

We start our study in Peter's letter to a group of believers spread across areas that make up modern-day Turkey. Six verses into the letter we find out that these believers are being grieved by various trials. They are feeling the effects of living for the kingdom in a world that isn't always friendly to that. Peter writes to them, reminding them of who they are, where their citizenship ultimately resides, and most of all, he reminds them again and again how good they have it because of the grace lavished on them by God.

See, when we have a big view of God's grace, we get a big dose of His peace. When we remember all we have been given by Him, it puts our hearts at rest even through grievous trials.

Edmund Clowney calls 1 Peter "a traveler's guide for the Christian pilgrim." Let's open this guide together to see how we live with a big view of God's grace and experience a big dose of His peace in this life as we journey toward the life to come.
