We continue this morning teaching through our mini-series titled, “Suffering Victoriously As Christians!”  For those who have been following our sermons this year regarding the 8th Law of Momentum – The Power of Suffering, you realize the whole focus has been to give the faithful Christian man and woman the right mindset regarding suffering.  The carnally minded person avoids suffering, complains about it, and ultimately succumbs to it in discouragement and despair, but the spiritually minded person embraces it when it comes and grows ever stronger in faithfulness and service to our King!  This series of lessons on suffering victoriously will be based on an expository study of the letter of 1st Peter.  Today we will finish our study from the lesson, “Our Faithful Response to His Great Salvation!”  Understanding His amazing grace and love for us in paying our debt of sin, filling us with His Holy Spirit, and reserving our place in heaven through Christ’s resurrection our response of faithfulness must be one of total commitment to living only for Him.  To prepare for times of great suffering ahead, Peter describes what our faithful response to God’s great salvation should look like.  First, we will examine the 3 Building Blocks for developing the right mindset to prepare for suffering.  Next, we will learn of the 3 Cornerstones for our Conduct to strengthen us for triumph in times of trial.  Finally, we will drill down on two very important truths about the LORD’s great salvation that are given to inspire us to persevere and power through tough times, holding on to the hope of eternal life in the face of, what Paul calls, light and momentary affliction!
