1 Peter 1:18-25 – Christ’s Suffering For Our Good
The Cross of Christ is the revealed truth of God’s judgment on sin. Never associate the idea of martyrdom with the Cross of Christ. It was the supreme triumph, and it shook the very foundations of hell. There is nothing in time or eternity more absolutely certain and irrefutable than what Jesus Christ accomplished on […]

1 Peter 2:13-17 – Honoring Your Leaders
Today will be an especially good day to read 1 Peter. By professing trust in the God who makes rulers rise and fall, whether we understand his purposes or not, we “honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that […]

1 Peter 2:11-12 – The Impact of Holy Living
We must consider our influence on the world. Our behaviour among the Gentiles must be honest, i.e., fair or beautiful, not only for our sake, but for theirs. Followers of Jesus must never be surprised to find themselves spoken of as evil doers. They called the Master “Beelzebub”; how much more will they malign the […]

1 Peter 1:17-21 – What The Precious Blood of Christ Means To Our Holiness
The blood of Christ was shed so that we might have a relationship with God. That relationship is only made possible because Jesus was willing to die for us on the cross. It was not the price of silver and gold that we were saved us, even though those precious metals are costly and worth […]

1 Peter 1:13-16 – Holiness Through The Hope Revealed in Christ
None of us can acquire holiness apart from God. It dwells in God alone. Holiness is only possible as the soul’s possession of God; nay, better still, as God’s possession of the soul. It never can be inherent, or possessed apart from the Divine fullness, any more than a river can flow on if it […]

1 Peter 1:10-12 – Longing for The Great Salvation That Was Prophesied
Salvation was the theme of the prophets’ study, it was the theme of the Spirit’s inspiration, it was the theme of the apostles’ testimony, and it was the theme of the angels’ interest. This is so rich, so rich. And the very fact that the Old Testament prophets were so interested in it, that the […]

1 Peter 1:6-9 – Reason to Rejoice in the Midst of Suffering
As he opens his letter, Peter gives us a past-present-future summary of God’s redemptive plan, but his interest is really in what God is doing right here, right now between Christ’s first and second comings. Of all of the words that he could use to describe what God is doing now, he selects these three: […]
