1 Peter (Program #10) -The Full Salvation of the Triune God and Its Issues (8)
As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we accept the Bible as truth. John 17 says specifically, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” And so when we come to verses such as John 3:16 for example, “for God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” We take that as truth without question. But are we satisfied merely to accept the objective fact that God surely loves us or have we in fact experienced His love in a personal and subjective way?
The apostle Peter was one, whom no doubt knew the objective teaching of God’s love. But it must have been his deep and personal experience and appreciation of the loving Savior that prompted him to write in the deeply and experiential manner that we find in his New Testament epistles.
