They lived in a world full of gods and when they confessed Christ as Lord it meant stepping outside of their culture. As God's chosen people, they were living in a world that was not (yet) their home. - That's why Peter called them \"exiles\" and \"sojourners\" (1:2, 2:11). But he also encouraged them with the reality that, although the experience of exile was difficult, they had been born again \"to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead\" (1:4). He directed their hearts to the \"eternal glory in Christ\" (5:10) to which they had been called.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe live in an increasingly post-Christian, secular age that looks ever more like the first-century world, and so we also feel ever more like the exiles we've always been. - \u003cstrong\u003eThese expositions of First Peter, therefore, seek to encourage twenty-first-century Christians with the same good news: although we are sojourners called to suffer for the sake of Christ, the resurrection of Christ has secured our glorious future so that we can be characterized by a living hope while we wait for \"the revelation of Jesus Christ\" (1:7).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45925791989839,"sku":"9780995065970","price":40.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/XZLWhIR0k29780995065970.webp?v=1781837776","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/1-peter-living-hope-for-suffering-sojourners-hardcover","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
