1 Peter
"Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father"
Text: 1 Peter 1:2a
GREAT TRUTHS
Though many believers fled for their lives, they were still special to the Lord. The Apostle Peter was no stranger to tribulation. He too experienced being sent to jail. He was persecuted for his faith as well.
Peter’s own faith had gone through fiery refinement. He was now in a position to write and share great truths with fellow pilgrims. (Because these truths are so deep and rich, we will not attempt to read 1 Peter quickly. The same verse would be read carefully over a few days. Swift reading of Peter’s Epistles would do injustice to the text)
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
in sanctification of the Spirit,
for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace be multiplied.”
1 Peter 1:2
