1 Peter 1 Shows us the power of the love, mercy and grace of the Lord as we trust and obey Him!
King James Version
1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, ² Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. God is always showing His care for His chosen and Peter was chosen by God to be a disciple, or apostle who represented the Lord to all who were in his realm of life where he lived. He was elect, according to the knowledge of God, so realized he was not able to cleanses himself, but God sanctified him by the Spirit of the Lord, as Jesus gave His life to die for or sins on the cross. Thank the Lord for Grace that is given to all who are followers of the Lord, so they can operate with peace praying for their enemies to become like the Lord also. What a wonderful experience to know we can’t be what God created us to be without the grace of the Lord, for grace is the ability to show mercy and not judgement with our behavior and attitude. God is not wanting to stop us from being alive, but to enjoy life to the greatest degree as we accept His forgiveness.
³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
⁴ To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
⁵ Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. God created us all to be a blessing to one another, as we accept His love and mercy by which He created us all with.  We are seeing to-day lawlessness, for the simple reason people do not want to obey God and be a blessing, but enjoy the wages of sin which is not dying out, but dying in the wages of sins death. It is amazing, so many do not prepare for an inheritance, but enjoy suffering in corruption that is destroy civility around the world. God has given us all the ability to not be corrupted and defiled by addictions of lusting for evil, when He gave us all faith to trust and obey His promises of blessing. Satan wants to deceive and fool all Gods creation, to believe a lie. I have seen in the past 85 years a decline in Church attendance and it has given us a very low self-image, to where people have to have drugs and alcohol to deaden the pain of suffering in shame. We were created to be good to one another, not hurt one another as we are seeing to-day, for we do not remember who we are created by. We are seeing people’s behavior and attitudes completely full of insanity killing their own babies and emotional will being.
⁶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: Thank the Lord for the way He created us all to have goodwill and peace, so we can rejoice and be glad in our relationship to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We are seeing as many temptations as there are people today and it is causing low self -esteem to where people are committing suicide, as insanity has made people lawless to where fear is destroying civility. Thank the Lord for the faith He gave us all to become more and more like the Lord, so we can experience, ⁷ That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: We are more precious than gold that is tried by fire as we continue to be Ambassadors in the Kingdom of God, honoring and glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ.  As we worship, reverence and have faith and hope in God, He honors us with praying to God for mercy and grace in our hearts and lives. We certainly can’t claim victory in ourselves, but it is our faith in God that give us victory again and again.
⁸ Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Thank the Lord He opens our eyes to see and know the truth, as we accept by faith all He has promised us in His word the Bible, that gives us the joy of working in the Kingdom of God, which is full of the glory of the Lords blessing. For the joy of the Lord is our strength, as we keep connected to the presence of the Lords spirit.
⁹ Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Salvation is what we receive when we accept the Lords way, truth and life is ours, when we stay connected to the vine Jesus. No man can separate us from Gods love, but us alone, when we disconnect from God love, mercy and grace. It’s our soul’s imagination, conscience, memory, reason and affection that needs to be regulated by Gods Holy Spirit, so our bodies eyes, ears, mouth, nose is full of feelings of belong to our Creator God!

¹⁰ Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Thank the Lord for our Salvation was promised to us by the Prophets in the Old Testament as will as in the New Testament, as God showed us all His grace was sufficient to get us into His Kingdom now and forevermore in Heaven.
¹¹ Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Thank the Lord for the fact when we want to know the truth and be led of the truth, God gave us all to enjoy; we feel significant in who we are, where we are and where we are going at death. God prepared this world for man to enjoy and rejoice in, as He showed us at his coming and living among us and was so brutally slain that we can have an abundant life abiding in His love, mercy and grace, as we stay connected in following Him. 
¹² Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. Thank the Lord no one is without excuses, for when we look around and see all that was created for our pleasure; the question is who created all this? Thank the Lord for all who came to their senses and found it was God who created all we see for our goodwill and peace, so we can pray for our enemies to become more and more like the Lord themselves. Thank the Lord for all who have lived for the glory of the Lord, for they are a witness of God’s love, mercy and grace that is unlimited, in what He can do in our lives as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Even the angels in heaven can’t comprehend the Power of the Holy Spirit God gave us all when He left this earth to go the heaven. 
¹³ Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; Notice it is your mind that needs to be girded up to be sober and full of hope with the grace that God gave at birth, with faith to grow to bring forth goodwill and peace, so your never yourself, but Gods child, doing what He reveals to you to become like Him to achieve your Potential as He reveals His self to your minds in your Spirit
¹⁴ As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: God our Heavenly Father has given all His created beings the opportunity to be obedient, not ignorant of the addiction of Satan’s lust for evil. We are seeing people deceived by ignorance of the way, truth and life and like running away from God’s love, mercy and grace and not having justice for their behavior and attitude. 
¹⁵ But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
¹⁶ Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Lord help us to be holy in all we do and say, so we can be ambassadors for the kingdom of God full of the Holy Spirit of God so we are continuedly being sanctified by the blood of the Lamb of God as we accept abiding in the vine; Jesus so we are always producing goodwill and peace regardless of what we are going through.
¹⁷ And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: Lord help me to call upon Your love, mercy and grace, so justice is produce by Your love in me, as I am committed to Your way, truth and life, so it is not me, but my fear of your judgement, if I do not do Your way to escape hell now and forever. Let me remember who I am at all times, so I am always dependent upon Your life, so I can be productive in the Kingdom of Gods.
¹⁸ Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
¹⁹ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Thank the Lord we are not redeemed with things that are going to pass away like silver and gold, but by the precious blood of the Lamb of Gods, who is without blemish or spots, as a man who came to show us how to then live to be a blessing never a disgrace, but full of grace love and mercy, so we can be justified by the blood of the Lamb of Gods; Jesus, who gave us the Holy Spirit to be empowered to achieve our potential as we surrender all to Him.
²⁰ Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
²¹ Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. God is so amazing that He knows who we are, as He foreordained us before He even created this world in which we live. I am so thankful for parents that knew that power of raising a family with the understanding of a Heavenly Father as our comforter, to empower us to become more and more like the Lord, as we are full of the Holy Spirit of God’s love, mercy and grace, as we grow in faith and hope of abiding in the vine so we are able to produce the goodness of the Lord.
²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: Thank the Lord for He is able to keep us pure in our bodies, souls and spirits, so we bring glory and honor to the Lord and we simple obey the Lord and pray for our enemies to become more and more like the Lord themselves.
²³ Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Thank the Lord we die out to sin and will never have to die in our sins, for God is given us a new life, as the old that is corruptible becomes incorruptible, by reading and accepting the Lord will, not being addicted to Satan Evil desires.
²⁴ For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: Thank the Lord for grass that is always alive, even when it is dying in the winter, just as flowers loose their color in the fall and renew themselves in the Spring time, we are alive manifesting the fact we are Spiritual beings who are very much alive for the glory of God!
²⁵ But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. But the Lord endures forever and His words when accepted will improve our lives, so we are able to live abundantly in the Presence of the Lord, regardless of the circumstance surround us. 
I pray God is in control of your life, so your experiencing the joy of the Lord every moment of the day, so your always an Ambassador in the Kingdom of God as you never forget who created you and for what purpose? 
Thank the Lord for revival that started February 8^th in Asbury College at Wilmore Kentucky as the Holy Spirit is taking control of the gather as people are gathering to pray through to reach the throne room of the Lord as they pray and wait upon the moving of the Spirit of Gods blessing upon their lives. People are testifying of sin being removed and being full of the Holy Spirit speaking in other tongues and prophesying as the Spirit of God not a man being in control. It reminds me of the late fourth’s and early 50’s when the Spirit of the Lord was so special people did not need a Pastor, but God speaking to them and through them to where conviction was so great people rejoice and continued to Pray and Sing of victory again and again until early in the Morning on a Sunday night or the nights of revival in the Churches.  I received the Baptism of the Holly Spirit in the 50’s and became an Ambassador for the Kingdom of God ever since. But still knows God has much more for His Children as we seek the Lord with all our hearts. Thank the Lord God is not a respecter of person and He wants you to achieve your potential as you accept His will, way and life! Blessing to you all!
