In his closing statement, Peter summarizes the entire letter with the declaration: “This is the true grace of God!” All the indicatives, all the imperatives, and all the encouragement to suffer well—Peter wraps it all up and calls it the true grace of God. Grace is the heartbeat of this letter. Grace is the center of our lives. The Christian life is all grace.
Big Idea: The Christian life is all grace—now and always—so stand firm in it and extend it.
