Devotional: 1 Peter 1:3-9

Today’s passage: 1 Peter 1:3-9

Helpful thoughts:

  • Our hope is alive because Jesus is alive.
  • Trials are:
    • Worth grieving (This passage never says not to grieve)
    • Temporary
    • Refining
    • Resulting in praise
    • Pointers to our purest and highest joys yet to be seen in eternity (Trials make us yearn for glory!)

Questions to consider:

  1. Who caused you to be born again?  Who’s power guards and keeps your faith and salvation secure?
  2. Who gets an inheritance?  Who’s child are you?
  3. Why is it possible to have joy and grieve at the same time?  Which emotion rules in the end for the Christian?
