Expressions of Faith: Restoration


And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
(1 Peter 5:10NIV)

Restoration


There is a progression of actions leading to a promise in vv5-10

·      Submit yourself (v5)
·      Humble yourself (v6)
·      Cast your cares on Christ (v7)
·      Be alert and sober (v8)
·      Resist the Devil (v9)

It all leads to v10.

Look at the promise.
Go ahead.
I’ll wait.

God promises restoration from all suffering.

Actually . . .
It sounds like better than restoration.
In the end, we are made “strong, firm and steadfast.”

All through God’s grace.

Praise the Lord!
