A frequent misinterpretation is viewing this passage as promoting a faith in God independent of Christ, overlooking the crucial phrase 'by him' that positions Jesus as the essential mediator through whom belief in God is realized; another error is treating the resurrection and glorification as optional historical trivia rather than the pivotal events that validate God's reliability and direct believers' hope exclusively toward Him.
I Peter 1:21
King James Version (1769)
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
This verse emphasizes that through Jesus Christ, believers come to trust in God, who demonstrated His power by raising Christ from the dead and honoring Him with glory, thereby grounding the Christian's faith and hope securely in God Himself rather than in fleeting circumstances or human efforts.
