This publication gives readers good plain advice from Peter on how we ought to live. Read it and take heed to its words. We find here how Peter has been growing in his experience. Peter wishes to encourage Christian believers and so he gives his own personal testimony. This personal note sounds through all the letter. The Christians were experiencing a time of trial (1:6). They needed encouragement from on who knew what trial meant. Peter points away from the trials to the future glory which awaited them (1:7), to the example of Christ (2:21), and the reward which would follow (4:13). In this we have a Word from our sponsor: Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Let this lift you up and fill you with joy!
