1 Peter prepares Christians for suffering by giving principles for living under duress. It enables Christians to face persecution by the grace of God (5:12). 2 Peter warns of apostasy (1:13-14; 2:1-3). It encourages Christians to remember the fundamentals (1:12-21). The main purpose is to help believers grow in grace to be established in the faith (3:18).

1 Peter 1:6 1 Peter 1: 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. In this you greatly rejoice “In this” — the living hope (vv. 3–5) produces present joy. The joy of the believer rests in God’s grace. Joy is independent of circumstances because the Christian life transcends circumstances. The Christian has an eternal future. He will never lose this joy no matter what comes his way. True joy comes from eternal possessions. Peter
