Greetings in Christ, and welcome!
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:13 NKJV)
"Gird up the loins" means to gather your long robes with a belt to prepare for action; but this is talking about the mind being prepared for action. We’re to be sober which means temperate, restrained, serious, thoughtful, calm, and unruffled.
The revelation of Jesus has occurred! His work is finished! Praise God!
Lastly, we’re to rest our hope (confident expectation) upon the grace brought to us at the revelation of Jesus, our Savior. We’re so blessed to be among those who have received this revelation! We may rest confidently upon His grace.
You may rest, knowing that your salvation was paid for fully by Jesus. There is no work or striving you need to do, but just live your life for Him by the grace that He provides.
