Peter ends his letter by saying, “I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it.” ( 1 Peter 5:12).
What is “the true grace”? The “this” is all he has been saying; that we suffer for Christ, That Satan is out to destroy us (5:8), but God will sustain us (5:6-7); That Jesus is our Shepherd (5:1) and that he suffered for us (5:1); and in all Christ will be glorified (5:11).
May you find comfort and strength when you review all of Peter’s letter.
