1 Peter Chapter 1 – a summary:
Praise to God who redeems and has caused us to be born again (3-12)

Since we are born through the living word of God, love one another (22-23)
1 Peter 2:1 ESV

- stop treating others as tools to be used for your own benefit
- seek direction through the Word of God with all you have (heart, soul, mind and strength)
- remember the kindness of the Lord
