1st Peter 1:21. “Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.” FAITH AND HOPE. It seemed to them who lived in times so dark Things had finally gone out of control. The trials they were in and the strange laws of men Attacked not only their bodies but their souls – Until they could see things, as it were, from above And from the perspective of God they could see – The law had a reason, it still condemned sin And it showed to them Christ’s purity.
For He was perfection in person and life There was no claim sin had on Him at all. He it is in whom we must believe, He was never contaminated by sin from “the fall.” Through Him we believe and can come to God Who raised Christ in power from the dead; Now in full life at the throne in heaven Our Lord Jesus for us continually pled.
The truth of the matter is – the law is good By it we are condemned and brought to God – And in faith I see Christ has died for me God’s eternal plan I know by faith in God’s Word. Christ is not dead; He rose from among them The hope I have is based in God Himself – Who gave the law to condemn sin in the flesh; And then sent Christ who in His fullness did bless.
“Father God, thank You for the revelation of Thyself and Thy Son through the Word of God. Faith has come to me through Thy Word and hope too is given, and assured through Thy Word. I thank Thee for it in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
