This Sunday we continue in our series CHRIST—Our Living Hope in 1 Peter! So far in our study we've heard the apostle Peter address the 'elect exiles' of the dispersion in Asia Minor and remind them of the great salvation that they have received. Peter knows full well the trials and persecutions that they've been under and he fears it will only get worse, therefore his main desire is to encourage them. This week Peter encourages them to live out their hope and salvation with great confidence.
