Why does God allow us to go through suffering and difficulties? Isn’t he powerful enough to prevent problems and hardship from entering our lives? We will gain wisdom and perspective from God’s Word in I Peter 1:6-9 that will help us answer these questions. This passage will help us see why it is necessary for us to go through testings, trials, temptation and even tragedies, so that we will bring praise, glory and honor to our Lord Jesus when He is revealed from heaven on the day of His return.

The Bible tells us that through the resurrection of our glorious Lord we have been given new birth into a “living hope” and into an “eternal inheritance”. God is guarding this amazing inheritance for each of us in Heaven. We will learn about our identity as “heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ”. My prayer is that this truth will help us to be more heavenly minded and more earthly good in our service to our Messiah and Savior.

We will continue learning from I Peter how we have new life and wonderful hope because our glorious Lord, Jesus Christ, conquered death through His resurrection. Let God fill your heart this morning with His encouragement!

As believers in Jesus we are not exempt from life’s struggles and suffering, but our relationship with the Risen Messiah gives us certain hope that God’s glory will always surmount and prevail over our present problems. We will begin a study of Peter’s first letter written to Christians who were suffering in the first century through various kinds of trials. We will learn how we can have real hope through life’s real struggles.
