"To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen." -1 Peter 5.11
This closing verse of 1 Peter 5.1-11 gives the final theme of the passage, and in that provides a summary and final instruction for the rest of the rest of the passage. Everything has pointed to God up to this point, and here in the closing words God is emphasized one more time.
To Him be dominion forever and ever- It's about God, it always has been, and will be forever.
Amen- Let it be done.
These two phrases appear to be simple and straightforward, but the carry significant implications and instructions. The closing words remind us that this is all about God, no matter what the other aspects have been, God is the ultimate point. However, there is a role we play, and there comes a time when we must take the first step.
As we enter this final verse, let us focus on God, giving the glory to Him alone.
Fight the lion, 1 Peter 5.1-11
TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
