J. I. Packer (1926–2020) loved the Lord, a fact that clearly shines through his writing. He, like C.S. Lewis, communicated profound spiritual truths in mere sentences. The following quotes display his rich biblical theology.
We are all in need of a heart transplant—everyone has fallen short of the glory of God. But Jesus Christ has justified us through His own righteousness.
Peter invites his readers to embrace God’s narrative not the world’s narrative; to embrace a biblical perspective on life and not what we often would construe for ourselves. This epistle gives a perspective of wisdom, faith, hope, and love and calls us to put our hope in the Living God and His unchanging character and promises.
Peter’s first epistle was written near the end of his life and it is designed to give us perspective. He tells us that we get to see things that the saints of the Old Testament could not see. And in light of these things, we have a living hope that brings confidence and stability and we can live in a manner that anticipates these future glories.
