Security in Suffering

Introduction We have much good about us. The blessing of God is real and true in Jesus, here and now. It is not simply a blessing that we await, looking forward to some blessed day in the future while God leaves us languishing here and now. We can understand that, and likewise know that there are plenty of difficulties here. It has always been that way. 1 Peter is a letter written to help Christians persist amidst the trials and problems of their exile here on earth. We can have assurance of God’s salvation in this world, for our security lies in God. 1. Our security is found in the will of God 2. Our security is found in the work of God 3. Our security is found in the watch of God 4. Our security is found in the word of God
