1 Pet 1:20–25

1:20
He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was manifested in
these last times for your sake.
21
Through him you now trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave
him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22
You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere
mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart.
23
You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed,
through the living and enduring word of God.
24
For all flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls off,
25
but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.

 

 

One thought:

We will continue to marvel at the greatest drama that is the history of God’s great plan to bring all things under Christ, forever.

 

 

Three questions:

What is the contrast that Peter makes in this passage?

 

Do you see the things of this world as temporary?

 

Make a change today that makes you less attached to the material things of this world and more to the eternal/enduring word of God

 

 

Prayer:

Acknowledge God as eternal.

Give thanks that we have the Word of God that endures forever.

Ask God to help you be less attached to this world and more hopeful of the one to come.
