I trust in God through Christ, whom He raised!!


Good morning everyone!! Another great day to be alive in Jesus and praise God's name!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! Let's see what is being said in 1 Peter.

1 Peter 1:21 "Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory."

Remember, Peter is talking to the Jewish Christians who have been tortured in Rome and scattered throughout the land. Peter, the rock, the talking about eternal life, calling these Jewish Christians to live holy, and now he is reassuring them about their faith.

Because of Christ, they have come to trust in God. Something visual? Something in their lifetime? The children of Israel Moses led had this!! The Jewish Christians have placed their "faith" and "hope" in God. Why? Because God raised Christ from the dead! What else? God gave Jesus great glory!!

This was written for the Jewish Christians of ancient world. Re-read this. It is talking to you also. Through Christ I have come to trust in God. I place my faith and hope in God. He (God) raised christ from the dead and glorified Him (Christ) just for me. Make it personal. IT IS PERSONAL!! We have not seen, but we have studied! We know!

The Bible is the inspired word of GOD! I believe it! Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace

Johnny
