Today I read 1 Peter 1, in which Peter wrote to scattered churches that they endure trials but keep faith because we were redeemed by Christ. Today I considered that everyone faces trials, but God’s promise of redemption last forever.

Forever Redemption

Praise God for his mercy in sending Jesus Christ to redeem us, minister to us, teach us, and send the Holy Ghost down from heaven (1 Peter 1:1-25). Even though we may face many different temptations and trials of our faith, we have to strengthen our minds. We cannot give into former lusts but must live holy knowing we were bought back by Christ’s redeeming us through his precious blood, not by gold and silver. God’s word concerning this endures forever.

Questions and Thoughts for Today

Trials that make you tired, weary, upset, downtrodden, and experience all kinds of negative emotions will come. When they come, we have to remember that we were redeemed and set free using a price more valuable than of gold and silver, through the trials of God’s Only Begotten Son. We have to remember our value and know we can work to live holy.
