1 Peter Intro

Who is diving into 1st Peter chapter 1 today and this week?

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you begin reading.

*This is a letter written by the Apostle Peter to Christians that have been dispersed to different areas. These Christians are being rejected and persecuted. Peter wants to encourage them to stand strong in the Lord.

*Remember Peter was not just one of Jesus's disciples, he was in his inner circle so he knew Jesus personally. So as you read through you can be encouraged with his words knowing how well he knew our Savior.

*Peter was known to be outspoken with no filter, remember he cut off someone's ear for Jesus, he loved Jesus so much, he also rejected him 3 times but fled into his arms when Jesus showed up on the shore after the resurrection.

I hope this helps guides your reading and questions, knowing a little about Peter and the Christians he is writing to. This is a letter, meant to be read from the beginning to the end. Comment here if you have any questions at all. I encourage you to read through 1st Peter every day and go through the questions. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you ladies.
