review 1: Wiersbe reminds us that fiery trials will come to all believers. The question is not if but when. This letter is meant to encourage the reader. This epistle of Peters tells the reader that attitude is important. We are to have a patient attitude toward the lost and an expectant attitude toward Christ and a fervent attitude toward the saints. Suffering is mentioned often by Peter. "...suffering does not automatically bring glory to God and blessing to God' people." Christians are kept for Glory and are being prepared for Glory. In the fiery trials believers are to examine their lives.
review 2: Trials are coming but Be Hopeful, where there is Christ, there is hope. 1 Peter is a tough book since many Christians are going through trials. Peter wrote to them beca... moreuse he knew "fiery trials" we're about to begin regarding the Christian faith that Paul defended (which he was arrested and released.) But he was arrested again by deranged Emperor Nero who accused Paul and the Christians for the fire in Rome. Both Peter and Paul were slained by Nero. Peters letters were tremendously helpful for Christians who suffered during the reigns of Trajan (98--117), Hadrian (117--138), and Diocletian (284--305). Christians today can learn the value of Peter's letters when they encounter their own "fiery trials."Be encouraged --we have God's grace and salvation. More to come . . . less
