1 Peter

1 Peter takes its name from the apostle Peter, who wrote to believers living as scattered communities across Asia Minor. The letter encourages Christians facing hardship, rejection, and suffering to remain faithful to Jesus and live with holiness, humility, and hope. Peter reminds them that their identity is rooted in God’s mercy and that they belong to a people called to reflect His character. 1 Peter reveals the Lord as faithful in suffering and calls believers to endure with hope, trusting in the grace and glory found in Christ.
