    Contributed by Steven Kellett on Apr 7, 2002
    based on 150 ratings
     | 5,313 views

    As Peter opens his letter, he describes his readers as aliens (pilgrims, strangers). This is true of all believers because; 1. The Father has chosen us. 2. The Son has washed us. 3. The Spirit has sanctified us.

According to the article, it has been reported that there are aliens living among us. One of the witnesses quoted in this article says that there may be hundreds ...read more

    Christians can be positive because God has an intense interest in us; He has given us a new birth; He has a purpose for our trials; and He has allowed us to live in a special time.
