THROUGH FAITH ARE SHIELDED BY GOD’S POWER / 1 PETER 1:5

This verse presents three truths concerning the spiritual safety and security of believers. This was a particularly relevant message for Peter’s original audience since many of them were experiencing strong persecution.

Believers are “shielded by God’s power” against Satan’s forces of evil that seek to destroy their lives and rob them of their faith and spiritual salvation (2 Timothy 4:18; Jude 1:1, 24; Romans 8:31-39).
The essential condition required for God’s protection is “faith.” His special guarding over our lives is not automatic or by chance; it comes into effect “through faith,” just as it is only “through faith” that believers are saved in the first place (Ephesians 2:8). It is our responsibility to maintain an active faith – one that completely surrenders to Christ, entrust the leadership of our lives to Him and pursues His purposes – if we expect to experience God’s continued guidance and protection (1 Peter 1:9; John 15:4, 6: Colossians 1:23; 2 Timothy 3:14-15; 4:7; Revelation 3:8; Revelation 3:10).
The highest goal of God’s protection through our faith is “salvation.” Here salvation refers not simply to one’s initial decision to accept Christ, but also to the future aspect of salvation (Romans 1:16) – the receiving of an inheritance in heaven (1 Peter 1:4) and “the salvation of your souls” (1 Peter 1:9).
