Being good stewards of God’s grace helps us to be more committed and fulfill His mandates to move forward. Along the way we will find different trials which seek to blur us from God’s purpose. But we cannot lose heart or stray from God’s purpose for us.
In the first letter of the apostle Peter in chapter four he tells us to be good stewards of God’s grace. The most important thing to know is that Peter encouraged that when persecutions come, they would rejoice in the glory of God. He was also greatly persecuted.
1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1 Peter 4:1-2 (KJV)
