Gospel Reflections #857: That We do not Waver

1 Peter 5:10 "But the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little while."

God's plan for humanity's salvation is perfect because God is a God of grace.

Through Jesus, especially through His cross and resurrection, God took away the burden of our sins and gave us new life as His children.

Yet, because we live in a world affected by sin, we still face suffering, sorrow, trials, and hardship.

Though God knows all our suffering, sorrow, trials, and tribulations, receiving the life of God's children does not mean God removes our suffering or hardship.

Within that hardship, God allows us to experience His presence with us.

By repeating this experience, God strengthens our relationship, ensuring we are firmly connected to Him and that we do not waver.

To be perfect means to become one with God.

Our God is our Creator, Redeemer, Guide, and Perfecter.
