Summary: Peter was a young successful fisherman when he met Jesus. Not even in the prime of his life he was called to follow Son of God. Traveling through out the country side seeing miracles and preforming them in Jesus' name Peter experienced many things as a disciple. Impulsive, brash and vibrant Peter had by this time in his life been beaten, jailed and threatened. He saw first hand Christians die and churches scattered. This is a letter in response to the tribulation being face at the time.
Things I Noticed:
1. According to God's great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading kept in heaven for you.
2. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
3. Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
4. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passion of your former ignorance.
5. Jesus was know before the Earth was laid but was made manifest in the last times for our sake.
6. Having, purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart.
7. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious.
8. You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house to be holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
9. A people of his own possession...Once you were not a people, nit mow you are God's people.
10. Beloved, abstain for the passions of the flesh which wage war against your soul.
11. Keep your conduct among unbelievers honorable, so when they speak against you calling you ignorant, the same as them or hypocrites, the may see your lives, actions and deeds glorify God...
12. Live free not using your freedom in grace to cover-up evil but as servant to God.
13. Honor everyone, Love the those who call Christ savior, and Honor the President.
14. For this is a gracious thing, when mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
15. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.
16. Have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repeat evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain blessing.
17. 1 Peter 3:18-21 Baptism is as understood through the concept of Noah and the cleaning of water.
18. Since Christ suffered in the flesh prepare your mind in the same way.
19. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.
20. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith , knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood through out the world.
