Bible Study: 1 Peter

Greg and RD spend time breaking down 1 Peter, sharing the history behind the book, and explaining how and why suffering is to be expected as a Believer.

Show Notes

RD and Greg jump into 1 Peter with some history of the book, including who authored it. RD states early on that 1 Peter was written to the "elect exiles."

 

Greg reveals that the major themes of 1 Peter are suffering, the divinity of Jesus, and the apocalypse. RD adds that we shouldn't be surprised when we experience suffering as a Believer because we are told again and again in the Bible to expect suffering.

 

Greg points out that our faith is more valuable than our circumstances, as is explained in 1 Peter. He also explains sanctification for listeners.

 

RD brings up what 1 Peter has to say about shepherding God's people, particularly the elderly.

 

Greg references 1 Peter 3, and explains how we on earth will never fully understand God or the Bible, but that doesn't mean we can't still trust the Bible.
