1 Peter 1

Commuter Bible NT

The apostle whom Jesus named “Peter,” the rock upon whom Jesus would build his church, is now writing to encourage the churches who are scattered across northern Asia Minor. The churches were suffering under persecution from those who lived around them, and Peter reminds them of the Savior whom they are called to follow, for he suffered for our sins once and for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us God. In this first chapter Peter brings to mind the future hope that is being kept safely for the church in heaven, for no matter what may occur in this life, the treasure of Christ will never be lost. Until that time comes, the church is called to be holy just as the Lord is holy.
