From Suffering to Glory

From Suffering to Glory | 1 Peter 3:18-22 | Kelly Abbott

Peter concludes the present chapter with yet another exhortation to persevere in the faith despite ongoing persecution. The hope Peter gives is threefold: Christ suffered for the unrighteous to bring unbelievers to God, he was raised from the dead in victory, and he is now exalted in glory. Believers are to fear no trouble in this life because they are secure in Christ and ultimately will share his destiny in glory. This because his sacrifice for sinners was sufficient, and he now sits at the right hand of the Father with all angles, authorities, and powers subject to him.
