Today is the last day of the Sanctification Study. I’m making this list from I Peter for my refrigerator tonight. I never want this study to grow cold in my heart. I want to be truly set apart. You may want to make this list on heavy stock or even laminate it for a powerful reminder of the rewards.

Obvious grieving trials (1:6) | Praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus. | |
Evil spoken about us (2:12) | God glorified in the day of visitation. | |

They think it’s strange that we are not still sinning with them (4:4) | We will be ready to give an account. | |
Fiery trial (4:12) | Partakers with Christ, when His glory revealed, we will be glad. | |
