We are not living in peacetime—we are in a spiritual war. In the closing verses of 1 Peter, the apostle reminds believers that we have a real enemy, the devil, who seeks to devour us. But he also offers real hope: the enemy is resistible, and God’s grace is stronger than our suffering.
In this sermon, we’re called to wake up to the reality of spiritual warfare and to stand firm—not in fear, but in faith. Peter exhorts us to guard against the devil’s footholds of pride and anxiety, to rest in the God who promises to restore and strengthen us, and to stand firm together in the true grace of God.
