START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Peter 1:7
These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
YOUR FAITH … PROVED GENUINE / 1 PETER 1:7
The theme of suffering for faith in Christ and doing good is emphasized throughout this letter (1 Peter 2:19-23; 3:14-17; 4:1-4, 12-19; 5:10). We are encouraged to rejoice in our difficulties and trials (1 Peter 1:6) because remaining faithful to Christ through tough times will purify our faith. Peter pictures a Christian’s suffering through “all kinds of trials” (1 Peter 1:6) like a fire that refines and purifies gold. But the Christian’s faith is far more precious and valuable because it results in praise, glory and honor both to the believers and to the Lord Jesus when He returns. When we go to be with Christ forever, we will find “that our present sufferings are not worth comparing to the glory that will be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
