Precious Gift
About the Series
Often we talk about life transformation but maybe we wonder is there really any life-long life-change? Peter provides a powerful picture of a transformed life and what it takes.
About the Artwork
It’s a combination of things which seem opposite; gold & charcoal, precious & an anvil. It’s meant to symbolize how trial, something we dislike, brings us faith, which is “far more valuable than gold” as the following verse describes.
1 Peter 1:6-8 says, “May the thought of this cause you to jump for joy, even though lately you’ve had to put up with the grief of many trials. But these only reveal the sterling core of your faith, which is far more valuable than gold that perishes, for even gold is refined by fire. Your authentic faith will result in even more praise, glory, and honor when Jesus the Anointed One is revealed. You love him passionately although you have not seen him, but through believing in him you are saturated with an ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory.”
