1 Peter 1:13 සම්බන්ධව නිදහස් කියවීමේ සැලසුම් සහ පූජනීයත්වය

This 3-day plan explores what Peter says about being holy. Many verses in the Bible are about being holy. We know that God is holy, but why would we want to be holy? Because Jesus said that’s how we have to be. The plan complements the free children’s game app Guardians of Ancora.

1 Peter was written to early Christians scattered throughout Asia Minor. Peter called his beloved readers “elect exiles” because they were suffering for their faith and longing for their heavenly home. Desiring to encourage them to live victoriously while trusting the Lord, he identified three living things they had in their sojourning. You also have these things, Christian: a living hope, the living Word, and the living stone–Jesus Christ himself.

How do we as Christians navigate the changing tides of culture and society in a world that seems to be shifting beneath our feet?

1 Peter was written to the “elect exiles of the Dispersion” (1 Peter 1:1), a group of believers forced to flee their homes and lives due to persecution. Although they lost much, Peter reminds his readers that they have “an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading” (1 Peter 1:4). Truly, Jesus is our Living Hope, transcending all our difficulties to provide hope and courage amid opposition.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to strange expectations.

Trust is the most valuable commodity of the human heart. Without trust, there can’t be love. Without trust, there can’t be faith.

Life is a battle. Sometimes thoughts of discouragement, frustration, or shame keep us from moving forward to victory. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
