… This is why, Brenda, in 1 Peter, I believe it's 1 and 9, the Bible talks about receiving the end of your faith. Can I teach just a little bit? Receiving the end of your faith.

… believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." Marvelous portion of Scripture. And I want to draw your attention to two statements. One of them appears in verse 6, at the beginning of the verse, "'In this you greatly rejoice.'" This is a statement of fact. This is a fact.
