1st Peter
Peter’s first letter was to the believers (mainly Jewish)
who had been scattered as a result of persecution from both
the Jewish authorities and Rome. This letter is one of
consolation and encouragement, yet at the same time packed
with doctrinal gems. In the first few verses alone he
mentions the doctrines of election, foreknowledge,
sanctification, obedience, the blood of Christ, the Trinity,
the grace of God, salvation, revelation, glory, faith, and
hope.
Peter may have lacked a formal education, but he had been
with Jesus! (cf Acts 4:13). He had come a long way from his
fishing boat on the sea of Galilee, and also now knew
firsthand that trials were invaluable, acting like a furnace
to burn away the dross and leave the pure (1:6-8). He
addresses our need: for holiness (1:15), for the solid food
of the Word (2:2), to abstain from fleshly lusts (2:11), and
to be an example in the world by our conduct (2:12 / 3:13).
The world in general will not accept us, speaking evil of us
because we don’t join in, but to those who seek a reason, we
must have answers for our hope – knowing that He cares for
us.
