Episode notes
Chosen Identity In Suffering
- Peter writes to mostly Gentile Christians suffering under Rome and offers comfort and identity rooted in God's choosing.
- He reframes their trials as purification and strengthening rather than rejection.
Universal Priesthood Declared
- Peter calls all believers a royal, holy priesthood, extending Old Testament language to Gentiles.
- This means every believer can approach God directly because Christ is the great high priest.
Live Honorably Under Pressure
- Live honorably and trust God when culture collapses so your conduct points others to him.
- Endure suffering mindfully of God to display his worth and strengthen your soul.
