Therefore, Set Your Hope Fully on the Coming Grace
Review: The Roadmap
- We've been born again to to a living hope & secure inheritance [1:3]
- so, set your hope fully on the coming grace [1:13]
- and, after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [5:10]
Therefore, 1:13
