PART 5

What does it really mean to “stand firm in the true grace of God”? In this inspiring and richly biblical study, Brian Johnston takes readers on a journey through the Apostle Peter’s first letter—unpacking what Peter himself declared as his purpose in writing: “This is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!” (1 Peter 5:12). With warmth and clarity, Brian explores five key facets of God’s grace revealed in 1 Peter:

• Grace in Salvation – God’s sovereign mercy in choosing, redeeming, and giving us new life through Christ.
• Grace in Service – The privilege of being built into God’s spiritual house and priesthood.
• Grace in Sanctification – Living set apart for God amid testing and opposition.
• Grace in Suffering – Learning to endure trials with faith and hope.
• Grace in Subjection – Humility and dependence in leadership and daily life.

Drawing on Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, he emphasizes that salvation is entirely of God’s doing—grace from start to finish. This book will strengthen believers to remain steadfast, worshipful, and grounded in the unchanging grace of God.

“After you have suffered a little while… the God of all grace… will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” — 1 Peter 5:10
