Peter loved to lead, but he had to go through a lot of brokenness to learn how. He thus wrote this book to churches to encourage them to persevere in spite of their own suffering, trials, and persecution. Peter wanted believers to know that new birth in Christ gives hope that will aid perseverance in spite of what we go through. Peter blends doctrinal truth about our salvation with practical truth about how it is to be lived out in our various life situations—including in the relationship between husbands and wives. Peter knew about suffering because he had experienced it as a disciple of Christ. But he also learned how to endure it with joy and victory rather than with sadness and defeat. This is a lesson we need today as our own culture grows increasingly hostile against the Christian faith. If we are going to be real kingdom citizens, our salvation has to become a visible reality that affects all we do. Peter tells us we need a Christianity that can be seen, even in a world that opposes and rejects us. 5 Lessons from the Book of 1 Peter - Tony Evans #shorts #1Peter #leadership #tonyevans _____________________________________________________________________________ ▶ Do you know Jesus as your Savior? https://tonyevans.org/know-jesus-christ/ ▶ Stream Sermons: https://tonyevans.org/podcast/ ▶▶ Free Sermon App: https://subsplash.com/tonyevans/app/ ▶▶ DONATE: https://give.tonyevans.org/the-alternative/donation ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtonyevans/ ▶ Are you a preacher?
