In 1 Peter Chapter 1, the apostle addresses Christians who are

dispersed and facing trials, providing them with hope and assurance.

He celebrates the new birth through Jesus Christ, which promises

an inheritance that is incorruptible. Peter reminds believers of

their salvation, a theme prophesied by the prophets and longed

to be seen by angels. He calls for holy living, in reverence to God,

and encourages love among the faithful, as they are cleansed by

obeying the truth.
