The God of All Grace

Commentators emphasize that this title is the bedrock of Peter's encouragement. Because God is the source of all grace, believers can be confident that He will provide everything needed to endure trials. His sovereign call to "eternal glory" is not a hopeful wish but a firm assurance that He will finish the work of salvation He started in you.
