Conversion is not the destination but the starting point on the journey toward spiritual maturity. Peter wrote to strengthen fellow believers by reminding them they are chosen by God, redeemed by the Lord Jesus, and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Alistair Begg cautions us not to boast, because God opposes the proud; not to worry, because God cares for us; and not to quit when confronted by adversity.
6xHumble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7ycasting all your anxieties on him, because zhe cares for you. 8aBe sober-minded; bbe watchful. Your cadversary the devil dprowls around elike a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9fResist him, gfirm in your faith, knowing that hthe same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10And iafter you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, jwho has called you to his keternal glory in Christ, will himself lrestore, mconfirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11nTo him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
