    Presents the work of the Trinity in bringing salvation

    Introduction What I will first note is that we are reading an epistle. An epistle is not, as one young student guessed, the wife of an apostle! It is a letter. This letter, as with most of the letters or epistles, starts off with the standard form of address. We begin with “Dear… ...read more

    Explores Peter's doxology regarding the salvation we have in Christ.

    In the first chapter, I noted that the New Testament epistles follow the basic form of letter writing of that day. There is nothing significant about the form.

    The prophets of old and even the angels of heaven sought eagerly to see what we possess.

    We have learned some great news in just the first nine verses of 1 Peter. What have we learn? We are God’s elect for whom all three persons of the godhead have actively worked for our salvation. We have been born again into a living hope of an inheritance of eternal life that we cannot ...read more

    In lights of the hope we have, we are now called to live the true good life - one that is holy.

    Up to this time, Peter has eloquently laid before his readers the glorious blessings of God that have come to them. What truths has Peter already expressed? Who we are – God’s elect and strangers in the world. What has been done for us – given new birth into a living hope of an ...read more

     | 4,897 views

    Presents the great value of the redemption we have.

    Let’s review Peter’s letter. Remember, he is following the ancient letter form. In verses 1,2 he identifies himself, then his readers and adds a greeting. He next writes a thanksgiving covering verses 3-12. In verse 13, he begins the body of the letter, which goes through 5:11. We ...read more

    Presents how Christ's redemption works in us.

    In our previous passage, we looked at the subject of redemption, specifically what it means and how it is made. It means to make a ransom payment, to buy one’s freedom. In our case, a payment is made to free us from the slavery of sin. This payment was made by the blood of Christ. He ...read more

    What it means to be building stones of the house of God.

    The moment of truth arrived one day in the life of Jesus and his disciples. They had been with one another for a couple of years or more, had seen his miracles and heard his teaching.

    We have been brought out of darkness to show forth the glory of God.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,705 views

    Always take time to consider how your behavior is honoring or dishonoring God before the world. That’s what matters. You are not your own persons. You are servants of God. That leads us into our next passage, verses 18-25, in which Peter directly addresse

    Introduction We continue to step through our minefield of authority. Peter has moved from his encouragement section of his epistle to practical instruction and exhortation. His topic is how Christians are to live in the world, and he approaches the subject in terms of how they are to regard the ...read more
