1 Peter was written to believers facing unimaginable persecution-from torture and crucifixions to even being burned alive and used as human torches in Nero's gardens. What can we learn from these first century believers?  The book of 1 Peter is a powerful guide for navigating suffering for your faith.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we sit down with leading New Testament scholar Dr. Craig Keener to discuss his commentary on 1 Peter and explore its incredibly relevant message for believers today.

Dr. Keener unpacks how the original recipients of 1 Peter were called “foreigners” and “resident aliens,” a term that highlighted their vulnerable status in a hostile world, especially in the face of impending persecution.

We dive into crucial themes directly related to suffering and persecution, including:
-Seeing ourselves as “foreigners” in this world.
-How suffering for Christ became a badge of honor.
-Responding to mistreatment with Christlike love, not retaliation.
-Standing firm against Satan’s attempts to make us fall away through pressure.
