Not a stingy God, a God of abundance

Now and again I will give a recitation of 1 Peter from memory and I know when the first smiles will cross the faces of those listening: when I reach the end of chapter 1 verse 2: 'Grace and peace be yours in abundance'.

'Grace and peace be yours' – this is standard fare for an epistle. 'In abundance' adds a new dimension.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ does not dole out grace and peace in small portions, enough to keep us spiritually alive but no more. He is generous. He has grace and peace for you in abundance and we see this throughout Peter’s letter.
