GREETINGS FROM PETER
1 This letter is from Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ.
I am writing to God’s chosen people who are living as foreigners in the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia.[a] 2 God the Father knew you and chose you long ago, and his Spirit has made you holy. As a result, you have obeyed him and have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.
May God give you more and more grace and peace.
THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
Here right now in this world , Because of the Blood , complete Faith
even though the early christians were persecuted even sometimes unto death , they carried on !! how could that be possible !
Because they believed , they knew that Jesus was the messiah , they believed the stories , and even in some cases witnessed them. Our persecution is still today.
We must continue Brothers and Sisters on this stedfast journey down the treacherous path the Lord has laid out for us. the reward is too great , His promise to us is real and true , have faith ! !
We can make it thru the storm Together , with Worship , Prayer and Faithful study of our Fathers Word.
We are His Chosen people !!!
Think about that HIS CHOSEN people , WOW that’s awesome , can you you imagine this existence without Him.
Let’s Love our Beautiful Jesus , lets always lift His name , let’s carry Him with us thru our lives on this planet and forever into eternity.
We Love You Jesus
