1 Peter 1 - Part 45 - Preparation for Suffering 45

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 we are to live in the time of the “glories to follow” by the wonderful truth that each believer is now indwelt by the Holy Spirit and therefore enabled to accomplish the things God has set before us.
