1 Peter is an amazing book written right before a major turning point in Christian persecution. It’s written to Gentile converts and some Jewish believers living in a predominantly pagan area of what’s now modern-day Turkey. The Apostle Peter writes this as an encouragement to Take A Stand in the middle of cultural shifts pressuring Christians to back down or blend in. As we dive into 1 Peter, we’ll be personally challenged to Take A Stand for holy living in a world that promotes wickedness and personal truth.
