Christians are called by God to endure hardship, suffering, and persecutions in this life. Though we are engaged in intense warfare with spiritual enemies, God gives us strong consolations and encouragements to strengthen us to stand in the grace of God. In this lesson, Dr. Charles considers the teaching of the benediction in 1 Peter 5:10–11, drawing out of it lessons about God’s love and purpose for us in our suffering.
