The Commentary on … The First Epistle of Peter

God has given to us a BOOK.

This BOOK is here to this very day … for all of us to read, to believe and to obey.

 
In the language of the end times … it is Authorized Version of 1611, or any of its revisions [the King James Bible].

This Bible was “translated out of the original tongues: and with the former translations diligently compared and revised, by his majesty’s special command” and “appointed to read in churches” till the SON of GOD comes to establish the millennial [one thousand years] Kingdom of Heaven on this Earth. Amen!

By God’s grace, I will attempt to write a commentary of the First Epistle of Peter. I will not resort to unbelief or give ground to the Devil in this endeavor. I want the LORD Jesus Christ to receive the honor and the glory, and for those who read this book to be helped in the manner as described in the book of Ephesians chapter four, verse twelve: “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” [Ephesians 4:12]

[THE BIBLE] This is God's Holy WORD to you and I!

Do you believe it?

The A.V.1611 (or The King James Bible) is God's word PRESERVED in the English language for you and me.
It came from the English Reformation.

This Bible declares that: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." [2 Timothy 3:16]

God's inspired word is preserved in the A.V.1611.

The word "preserved" means maintained inspiration.
 
"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." [Psalm 12:6-7]
 
[PRESERVE]
 
You see what God is saying here? GOD promises that no matter what man does, even with his corrupting influence in all these Madison Avenue money-making productions, which have resulted in over 200 "new" English translations of the Bible in the last 100 plus years, HE WILL (in spite of the scholars) "PRESERVE THEM FROM THIS GENERATION FOR EVER!" Stick with the Book! Amen! Amen! AMEN!

I simply have in child-likeness believed THE BOOK ... no matter how hard things got ... for it has BURNED in my heart for these last thirty-four years.

I have by GRACE not gotten off course either ... for He has held me to Himself.
 
God is faithful, and I (literally) have taken God at His word concerning 1 Peter 1:5.
 
"Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."

And while I have seen the Lord hold me to Himself, I have with sadness watched as many people, churches, Bible colleges and even our nation, are slowly slipping ... degree by degree ... away from THE GOD of THE BIBLE.
 
Why has this happened?
 
Could it be, that we can, through unholy alliances, lose something that we never intended to give up?

For me, Rick St.James,
 
I am to approach THE BOOK, as like a child, with a trusting heart through faith.
 
I want to line out with that BOOK!
 
I want this said of me, as also was said of the believers at Thessalonica,

"For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God which effectually worketh also in you that believe." [1 Thessalonians 2:13]
 
What about you?

"Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart" [Psalm 119:2]

They who keep his testimonies have a whole heart.
 
Their heart will approach God and His Book with total joy and expecting to commune with the Holy God who is infinite, for this purpose:
 
"Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word" [Psalm 119:12-16]

Will You Come TO Jesus Christ?

Do you believe this scripture, my friend?
 
Do you sense from within your heart ... the tugging and pulling of the Spirit of God?

The Holy Spirit "will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."

Are you under tremendous conviction of sin, and are you mulling over within your heart the TWO WAYS in life that lie before you?

You must make a decision.

It is a matter of whether or not to go to THE STRAIT GATE, or to stay on THE BROAD WAY!

Where are you, my friend?

What will you do with Jesus Christ?

Will you flee from the wrath of God, and go to THE DOOR, and Knock?

If you go through this DOOR you will be on location at Mount Calvary which place is where the weight of your sin will drop off your back at the sight of the ONE who died for you, and WHO shed His BLOOD for you.

You ... my friend ... will then ... be on THE NARROW WAY TO HEAVEN! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
