I Peter 1:5-9 gives us more revelation on the faith process.

Remember God is in Executive Control and TRAINS us in growing in faith. He manages the whole process so we grow to trust Him and grow in love. These are tied together. It’s His idea!

“We are being guarded by God’s power through our faith till we fully inherit our final salvation that is ready to be revealed for us in the last time. We should be exceedingly glad on this though we for a little while may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations. So that the genuineness of our faith may be tested which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold. (This proving of our faith redounds to our praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious joy. (At the same time) you receive the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls” I Peter 1: 5-9 AMP

We learn we are also GUARDED by GOD’S POWER as we embrace the process of growing in faith and trust and love. Though we suffer here, as we hold steadfast in faith in Jesus, it comes back to our credit before the King. All glory and honor to King Jesus Who also says “well done” to us when we go home. The end result of our faith is we receive the salvation of our souls!

Again, you may say you knew this, not just in your head but also in your heart. That’s wonderful! Yet I find the Word is always alive and full of power and so rich! As we meditate upon Jesus in His Word more light always breaks forth.

Shalom Shalom!
