Peter’s expressed purpose in writing 1 Peter was that his readers would stand firm in the true grace of God (5:12) in the face of any difficulty. To that end he reminded them of their election and the sure hope of their heavenly inheritance, showed the privileges and blessings of knowing Christ, gave them instruction on how to conduct themselves in a hostile world, while pointing them to the example of Christ’s suffering. Peter wanted his readers and us today, to live triumphantly regardless of the difficulty,  without abandoning hope, becoming bitter, losing faith in Christ, or forgetting His second coming. When we are obedient to God’s Word despite the world’s antagonism, Christians’ lives will testify to the truth of the gospel (2:12; 3:1, 13–17).
