1 Peter
The book of 1 Peter, written by the apostle Peter, is a letter addressed to believers scattered throughout the provinces of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Likely composed during Nero's persecution of Christians, it offers encouragement and guidance to those enduring suffering for their faith. Peter exhorts his audience to remain steadfast, live holy lives, and cling to the hope of their eternal inheritance in Christ. The letter intertwines themes of suffering, identity in Christ, and the call to a godly lifestyle, urging believers to reflect Christ's character in all circumstances.
