JOY Inexpressible. Pt1

1Peter1  God keeps His promises to His people.

5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been [c]grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not [d]seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

Good Morning. God certainly keeps His promises to His people until the Day of salvation. God has made possible that day when we were saved, born again from above by the Holy Spirit trusting Jesus as Savior this is Justification or made right before God through Jesus! God also has been guiding us through life and teaching us to trust His Holy Word and grow closer to Him by faith, that faith He gives to all who believe in Jesus this is Sanctification!  God also will show His faithfulness to us as we receive the end of our faith, the salvation of our souls when we receive our new bodies, this is Glorification. But while we are in this life we have to endure trials, these trials of life are meant to enhance and grow our faith. We learn that God is faithful to take us through our trials and temptations and in that experience our faith grows and we draw closer to our Lord Jesus! God tells us here that it is in the trial of faith (disappointments, hurts, heartaches etc.) that we will look back and see the experience was much more precious than gold because our walk with God was made more intimate. Let’s look into the inexpressible Joy tomorrow. God bless.
