Peter seeks to encourage Christian believers by describing to them their true and exalted identity in Christ!
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast save in the death of Christ, my God
Paul prays for the eyes of our hearts to see and to know all the beauty and riches Christ has given to us!
This is a God you can trust to save you.
When the obstacles facing the church seem immense, remember – our God is greater.
God empowered David’s men to slay the giants they faced. In the same way God empowers us to slay the giants we face.
God has given us the power to live holy and blameless. We need to know this power is available and use it.
