Our Great Salvation- 1 Peter 1:1-12

In this sermon on 1 Peter chapter 1 Pastor Keith explains how God deserves all the praise for giving Christians such a great salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ. What they have now and look forward to in eternity fuels their joy, hope and love even in the face of fiery trials. God has given His people a new identity and inheritance and He is guarding them along with their inheritance. Though the Christian life involves a great salvation it also involves suffering. And the Apostle Peter wrote to Christians who were suffering greatly going through "fiery trials". The words in his epistle were written to encourage and strengthen the faith and hope of those Christians and they can do that for us who are believers today as we read them.
