Peter Ends His Letter

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.
