Advent J O Y // 1 Peter 1 : 3 . 9The Joy of Eternal LifeAll 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, & we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure & undefiled, beyond the reach of change & decay. 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.So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests & purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise & glory & honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.You love Him even though you have never seen Him. Though you do not see Him now, you trust Him—& you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting Him will be the salvation of your souls.#adventjoy #thereiswonderfuljoyahead #weliveingreatexpectation #vineyardfullerton -- source link
