Throughout this letter, Peter has offered counsel to churches enduring suffering. They are sojourners and exiles in a pagan society, and this had led to trials. Now, he reminds them that behind everything is an enemy that wants to destroy them. But God’s purpose for them, as it was for Jesus, is to bring them into glory. In this final lesson, Dr. Ferguson explains how only a true view of God enables us to entrust ourselves to Him, which is how we reach the glory that He has prepared for us.
