After opening his letter
by emphasizing the role of the Triune God in salvation, Peter quickly transitions
to praising God for His salvation and pointing his troubled readers to the hope
they have through Jesus Christ. As we anticipate joining together to worship
our Great God this Sunday, please be praying for our time together.

2018 – 1 Peter 1:3-5
1. Humble yourself
before Almighty God and praise Him for His perfect character and wisdom.
2. Thank Him for His
grace and mercy – that He did not leave us to our sin – but took on flesh and
become one of us in order to redeem us from the curse of sin.
3. Praise Jesus for
His perfect life, His substitutionary death, and His resurrection through which
we were born again into a living hope!
4. Confess to God your
battle to live for things that are fading away rather than to live according to
your inheritance in heaven.
5. Praise God that He
protect us by His grace for a salvation that is ready to be revealed at Jesus’
coming. Thank Him that He causes us to persevere in the faith.
6. Ask God to remind
you of the hope that you have in Christ during times of difficulty and struggle.
7. Plead with God to do His
work of salvation and sanctification amongst us at Trinity Baptist Church
