1 PETER. For young Christians facing ridicule in a pagan world, it was difficult to focus on their “living hope.” The Apostle Peter wrote to remind these hard-pressed Christians of their rich identities in Christ, and to encourage them to face their sufferings with Christ-like character. Peter’s heartfelt challenge to practical Christianity will inspire you to meet your trials with the same confidence in “the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ.” LifeChange Series: Christians have a lifelong goal: to become like Christ.
