Episode notes
Summary Salvation is not just a moment but a journey of sanctification, where the Holy Spirit works in us to make us holy. Peter’s words encourage us to keep our eyes on Jesus, especially in times of trial, and to remember that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves—a kingdom that is eternal and glorious. As we navigate the challenges of life, let’s not forget that Jesus did not save us for comfort but for purpose. Embrace the trials as opportunities for growth and refinement, knowing that God is with you every step of the way. Let’s commit to encouraging one another, gathering together, and running the race set before us with endurance, trusting that our struggles are shaping us for His glory.
