God cares that you enjoy His good gifts, and He also cares that you share them with the needy.

The Christian life is not a wasted life.

You can truly know God because 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us'

1Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,  2  as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,  3  if indeed you have tasted that the Lord  is  gracious.

It is essential that we love, and that we are transformed to love by Word and Spirit. 22  Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,  23  having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,  24  because “All flesh  is...

17  And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay  here  in fear;  18  knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things,  like  silver or gold, from your aimless conduct  received  by tradition from your fathers,  19  but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and wit...

14  as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts,  as  in your ignorance;  15  but as He who called you  is  holy, you also be holy in all  your conduct,  16  because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

Putting the 'therefore' of the Christian life in the correct order is one of the most essential qualities of grace-based sanctification.

1 Peter 1:10-12 10  Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace  that would come  to you,  11  searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.  12  To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they we...

How we think about the future, shapes how we live in the present. The Christian, by fixing their eyes on their glorious future, can live with joy even while enduring trials.

We need to exercise our spirit's in praise to God. In a world where we're constantly drawn to look at ourselves, or at society around us, Peter calls us to lift our eyes to God, to delight in who He is and what He's done.

How does the triune God work to bring outsiders into His family? Learn about the significance of the Father's foreknowledge, the Spirit's sanctification, and the Son's sprinkled blood.
