Godโ€™s grace is evident in Peterโ€™s journey of denial and restoration. Despite Peter denying Jesus three times, God used him to advance His kingdom by the fearless proclamation of the gospel with power and conviction (Acts 2:14โ€“36). Peter deeply understood the Holy Spiritโ€™s work in enabling believers to be set apart for Godโ€™s purposes. Through the Holy Spiritโ€™s guidance and grace, we are equipped to honor God and reflect His character, just as Peter himself experienced in his journey of denial, restoration, and ministry. Because we are set apart for God and come from a place of grace, here are three things the Holy Spirit enables us to do.

Peter was explaining to the early church how the Holy Spirit guided the Old Testament prophets as they sought God about the Messiah that He promised to His people. Through the Holy Spirit, Christโ€™s redemptive work was foretold (2 Peter 1:21), assuring us that Godโ€™s promises are trustworthy and reliable. We can trust in Christ completely, knowing that His suffering and glory are part of Godโ€™s eternal plan to restore us to a right relationship with Him. How has this truth helped you in following Christ, knowing that His suffering, death, and glorification were predicted long ago and were all fulfilled?

Just as the Old Testament prophets were guided by the Holy Spirit as they prophesied about Christ, the Holy Spirit enables us today to proclaim the good news that Christ has come. The Holy Spirit does not only give us assurance about Godโ€™s plan, but empowers us to preach the gospel boldly. Through the Holy Spiritโ€™s guidance and grace, we are equipped to fulfill our calling, participating in Godโ€™s redemptive work and inviting others into the abundant life found in Christ. How has the Holy Spirit enabled you to share your faith with others?

Peter encouraged the early believers to rejoice as they suffered as Christ suffered. They could endure suffering knowing that when Christ returns in His glory, they, who have the Holy Spirit of glory, are blessed because they would also be gloriously resurrected. This is also true for us today. Our suffering is a temporary trial that will ultimately lead to the manifestation of Godโ€™s glory in our lives. The Holy Spiritโ€™s empowering grace gives us strength and comfort to persevere and rejoice during difficult times, knowing that suffering is not the end of our story. Rather, it is a pathway to eternal joy and glory in Christ. What does 2 Corinthians 4:16โ€“17 tell us about how we are to view earthly troubles and what they are preparing us for?
