The Grace of God - 1 Peter 5:10-14

November 1, 2020 • Travis Markes • 1 Peter 5:10–14

“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.” (1 Peter 5:10-14 ESV) The Grace of God enables us to: *Enter into His Glory *Endure temporary suffering *Encourage others who suffer *Experience peace in a messed up world
