Rejoice! Your Suffering Is Not Wasted | 1 Peter 1:6-9

Peter addresses scattered groups of Christians facing considerable suffering and persecution. After reminding them of the security of their salvation and future inheritance, Peter strengthens and encourages faith and joy by explaining to them the divine purposes of their suffering and future glory it will bring. In this study we learn that we can rejoice in our suffering because we know that it is willed by God to test and purify our faith and prepare us for glory.
