OUR STANDING IN SIMILIES. 1st Peter 2 Before He made the world, God had in His mind and plans a way of salvation for those who would repent and turn away from their sins, and turn in faith to the Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins when God laid them on Him on the cross. We are born again by the Spirit and the word when we receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior. Our salvation is assured by the resurrection of Christ from among the dead, and will be eternally complete when our Lord comes again. We will be freed from this body, prone to and tempted by sin, and given a glorified body suited to the holy environment God has arranged for the eternal future.
1 Peter 2
