Resolve

1 Peter 4:6 presents another difficult verse to interpret. I like the insight given by Dr. Grant C. Richison, of Campus Crusade for Christ and former Baptist pastor. His reference to Peter’s focus on the “historic past” makes sense. His underlying principle “Christians face an altogether different future than the lost” should strengthen a believer’s resolve, especially one in the midst of persecution for Christ’s sake. Even though they lost the game, this coach is happy with the team’s resolve. Makes me wonder if Christ is happy with my resolve.
