Peter exhorted them to stand strong, repeatedly reminding them of Christ\u2019s example, the riches of their inheritance in him, and the hope of his returning again to take them to heaven. Peter explained how Christians should respond when they suffer because of their beliefs. Called the \u201capostle of hope,\u201d Peter\u2019s primary message is to trust the Lord, live obediently no matter what your circumstances, and keep your hope fixed on God\u2019s ultimate promise of deliverance. Suffering is to be expected, but it is temporary and yields great blessings for those who remain steadfast. Peter probably wrote this letter in the mid-60s A.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thinking back to our study of the Gospel of Mark, what do we know about Peter?  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What was going on in the world and in the church that Peter was writing to?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>1 Peter 1:1-2<\/strong>\nPeter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,\nTo God\u2019s elect, strangers in the world, scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood:\nGrace and peace be yours in abundance.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What evidence do we have that Peter wrote this letter?
