Resilient: Powerful Hope in a Dangerous World

Written to the Christians scattered in different places who are facing injustice and persecutions as their faith is at odds with the surrounding cultures, Apostle Peter encourages readers to remain a holy people, submitting to authority, repaying evil with good, serving one another as a church. Strangely enough, this letter is a timely wake-up call for Christians who are living in an age filled with frustration, rage, and disappointment.

Through the Bible: 1 Peter

When we first met Peter in the Gospels, he was a brand-new Christ-follower. Now, years later, his life has been changed by grace. He has much to say about doctrine, his own trials, and the work of the Holy Spirit. He encourages believers to persevere and hope in Christ’s resurrection. These six lessons through 1 Peter are part of THRU the BIBLE’s trusted study through the whole Word of God.  

Thru the Bible—1 Peter

1 Peter was written to the “elect exiles of the Dispersion” (1 Peter 1:1), a group of believers forced to flee their homes and lives due to persecution. Although they lost much, Peter reminds his readers that they have “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading” (1 Peter 1:4). Truly, Jesus is our Living Hope, transcending all our difficulties to provide hope and courage amid opposition.
