Peter writes a letter to people who had embraced faith in Jesus Christ and became different from all their family and friends. They were strangers in their hometowns. They suffered because of their commitment to Christ and the church. Peter encourages them, reminding them of what they believe and why it's so worth it to stay courageous. Is what you believe worth suffering for? If everyone around you pressures you to abandon your faith, will you stay strong?
October 12th | 100% Sure | 1 Peter 1:1-12
Peter starts his letter reminding these young believers of the salvation in Jesus they've experienced. He reminds them they can trust Jesus to be there when they need Him. When we experience suffering because of what we believe, we can doubt and walk away. It feels too hard. Peter wants to make sure these young Christians don't give up in discouragement. Have you ever felt like giving up because life was hard, painful and stressful? To prepare, read 1 Peter 1:1-12.
