1 Peter 1 (b)

The book of 1 Peter – chapter by chapter and verse by verse

Peter 1:5-6 KJV (2 verses)

Peter means rock. Christ is the Rock of Salvation, the Rock of Ages. Christ called Peter “son of Bar-Jonah” which means son of the dove, signifying the Holy Spirit. Peter talks plain language with clarity.

5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Acts 2:17 – both sons and daughters will stand against the false one. They will witness and make a stand. It’s almost ready to be revealed! Very exciting. This is what it’s like to be holy. See 1 Peter 1:16 – we are told to be holy.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

In this particular time, we may hit some hard spots – the one-world system will be brought in. But remember, nothing will happen to us that isn’t common to all people. (1 Cor. 10:13) There will be ups and downs but we can handle it because we have the love of God.

It is well worth serving Him for.

(1 Corinthians 10:13, as mentioned above:

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”.
