Like Gold Tested by Fire

Read the Story

Peter writes to God’s chosen people who live as foreigners. He says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God gave them a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus. They have an inheritance in heaven that does not fade away.

Now they are sad for a little while because of trials. But their faith is more precious than gold. Gold is tested by fire, and faith is tested too. They love Jesus even though they do not see him.

Peter says to be holy in all you do. It is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy. They were not bought back with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like a lamb without spot. So they should love one another from the heart.
