1 Peter 1 - Part 42 - Preparation for Suffering 42

As the tide turns against believers in this nation, it is good to remind ourselves of what is expected of us and what has been provided for us, so we may be prepared if and when we come under intensified persecution for Him. This is a study of the need to gird up the loins of our minds in preparation for suffering for our Lord. The lesson is that we are to be prepared in our minds for suffering for Him and our confidence is not to be in the things of this life but in the sure things of our hope in all His promises to us when He comes back for His body the church. Here we look at how God’s word becomes our own as we truly appropriate it by faith. Without faith our walk will be a failure and we will not be pleasing to Him. This is a study of the time we live in which we call the time of the “glories to follow”.
