Peter ends his first letter with this blessing. “Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus.”
Peace comes by:
1) humbling ourselves before God (1 Peter 5:6)
2) rejoicing that we are counted worthy to partake of Christ’s suffering (1 Peter 4:12-13)
3) Being sober, vigilant and resisting Satan’s traps (1 Peter 5:8-9)
4) Casting our cares upon God (1 Peter 5:7)
5) Remembering God takes care of us (1 Peter 5:7)
We will close this first letter of Peter’s with a quote from a song based on Isaiah 30:15.
“In repentance and rest
You shall be saved
In quietness and trust is your strength
The Holy One of Israel is your God”
