1 Peter was written around the time that Nero started heavily persecuting believers. Christians were scared. They had questions.

What was God's plan in this? How long would these trials last? How were they to respond to persecution?

In 1 Peter 1, Peter starts right off encouraging the believers with the fact that they have an eternal inheritance. Suffering is temporary, but salvation is eternal.

The principles he shared to encourage the 1st century believers are still true for us today. If you are facing trials, suffering, or persecution, join us in this series on 1 Peter to find strength and hope to get through.

The book of Malachi is largely filled with rebukes from God to His people. They were not honoring Him as they should. They were stingy, selfish, and sinful. Their sacrifices were pathetic.

But not everyone was like that. There was still a remnant of genuine believers. They wanted to know if they would be washed away in judgment together with the wicked. 

These verses are an assurance to them that God sees. He remembers. He will never forget His people. 

May this study on Malachi 3 and 4 encourage you as well!
