As Christians living in a world that’s not our home, a world that ultimately rejects us, how are we to endure? How do we stand firm in our faith until the end, when Christ returns and delivers us to our ultimate salvation? Peter closes out his first letter with some important final instructions to make sure that those he’s writing to are well prepared for their final days in this world. And what we find is that it’s all about posture. If we are to endure, we must posture ourselves correctly by being humble before God, being aware of the devil’s traps, and being fully fixed on the hope we have in God’s ultimate plan for our lives. When we take on this posture of faith, we are able to endure until the proper time, when the mighty hand of our gracious and caring God will exalt us into His eternal glory.
