God's Gift of Mercy
Today, Pastor Henry talked about what God in His great mercy has given to us as we read in 1 Peter 1:1-12. Because Jesus has been risen from the dead, we have been given a new life through Him and now we have everything to live for - including a future with Him in heaven. Because of this faith in His sacrifice, we are able to put up with suffering and hardship until the day when we are home with Him at last.
What does a life that is defined by God's gift of mercy look like? I think knowing that God in His great mercy has given us this gift of faith, we can be thankful and always ready to live for Him. We are told in these verses that our faith is worth more than gold, so even as gold is refined by fire comes out pure, so faith refined by suffering is proved genuine. And this glorifies God. As it says in the Message, God will have this on display as evidence of His victory.
