1 Peter 1:6-9
KJV 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if
need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be
found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus
Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye
see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and
full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the
salvation of your souls.
WEB 6 Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little
while, if need be, you have been grieved in various trials, 7
that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold
that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to
result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus
Christ— 8 whom, not having known, you love. In him, though now
you don’t see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy
that is unspeakable and full of glory, 9 receiving the result of
your faith, the salvation of your souls.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
6 Trials often bring us grief but we are still to rejoice and
praise God during these times because we should have the faith
that He will carry us thru them. Life is trials whether we have
God or don’t but because we have God going with us thru the
trial, we have reason to rejoice.
7 As Christians trials are hard but they can be used to draw us
closer to our Lord and grow us in faith and make us ready for
the next steps He has planned for us.
8 We don’t physically see Him but have faith that He is with and
we because we feel His presence, His presence being with us
should bring us this joy that isn’t changed by what trial may
come. We have grace thru Him and fellowship with Him this should
cause our joy.
9 By faith in Him we have salvation. Jesus and faith in Him
alone saves. Many think there are other ways to salvation but
believing in Jesus as our Lord is the only Way.
