  • Standing Firm in God’s Word
    Jun 24 2024
    Peter uses many words here to describe God’s Word: purifier, the truth, rebirthing, living, abiding, word of God, remaining forever, good news, and pure spiritual milk. His desire is that as spiritual exiles in this world, we would crave God’s Word. When we regularly taste how good His Word is, we grow up into salvation and increasingly put away all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. In other words, God did not give us His Word for information but to effect transformation in us!

  • Standing Firm in Holy Exile
    Jun 18 2024
    Where do you set your hope? Peter calls us to fully set our hope now on the grace to be revealed when Jesus returns. This has been God’s endgame for His children from eternity! Moreover, when we fix our hope each day on the sure and certain Great Day, it changes how we live in the moment. Amidst the lure and pull of this present, evil age, we – as spiritual exiles – live sober-minded and holy lives, distinct from those around us…ever fighting the desires of sin. [Perhaps recall a time when you were in a unique social setting and felt like a complete outcast/outsider who didn’t really belong there.] For in our holy exile (Jesus has called us out of this world so that we do not belong to it anymore), we know that Christ has ransomed us not with silver or gold, but with His precious blood; and He has been raised from the dead and received glory, so that our faith and hope are always in Him.

  • Standing Firm in God’s Mercy
    Jun 10 2024
    Peter writes his first letter to a diversity of believers who have been dispersed throughout Roman provinces in Asia Minor. While many Christians were literal exiles in the Greco-Roman world, Peter especially has in mind “spiritual exiles” who are awaiting their heavenly inheritance. He encourages his readers then/now to endure suffering and hardship by standing steadfast in Christ. Peter reminds us from the start that the God who has called us, given us His Spirit, sprinkled us with Jesus’ blood, and rebirthed us into a living hope via His great mercy (vs3), is the same God who continues to guard us by His power for the salvation to be revealed on the last day. Hence, whatever our earthly trials, we rejoice; and though our faith be tested by fire here, we know that our faith will culminate in the salvation of our souls.
