1 Peter, "A Fire-Tested Faith" - Introduction to 1 Peter

Sep 1, 2024    Troy Neeley

Peter writes this letter to encourage believers who are facing religious pressures and persecutions.

He explains that the various trials they are facing are important for building their faith and he exhorts them to endure hardships, to be humble in relationships, and to remember Jesus’ Lordship through it all.

He addresses the importance of submission and discusses doctrines such as election, sanctification, and justification.

He also encourages church leaders to shepherd well, and encourages the church to support those who are leading.

Ultimately, Peter reminds all believers of their heavenly inheritance and encourages them to stay the course because the trials they’re facing are necessary for the establishing of A Fire-Tested Faith
