1 Peter 1:7

might

Suffering, in First Peter, is set in the light of:

(1) assured salvation. (1 Peter 1:2).

(2) the greater glory at Christ's appearing. (1 Peter 1:7);

(3) Christ's sufferings and coming glories. (1 Peter 1:11).

(4) the believer's association with Him in both. (1 Peter 2:20); (1 Peter 2:21); (1 Peter 3:17); (1 Peter 3:18); (1 Peter 3:4); (1 Peter 3:12); (1 Peter 3:13).

(5) the purifying effect of suffering. (1 Peter 1:7); (1 Peter 4:1); (1 Peter 4:2); (1 Peter 5:10).

(6) that Christ is now glorified in the believer's patient suffering, (1 Peter 4:16).

(7) that suffering is disciplinary. (1 Peter 4:17); (1 Corinthians 11:31); (1 Corinthians 11:32); (Hebrews 12:5).
