A truly pastoral charge, the book of 1 Peter deals with living with and in suffering and calls us to rejoice nonetheless in the joy of our salvation.
Persecution can either cause us to grow or grumble in the Christian life. It all depends on your response! In writing to Jewish believers struggling in the midst of persecution, Peter reminds them of their “roots.” They have been born again to a living hope, and therefore both their character and conduct can be above reproach as they imitate the Holy One who called them. The fruit of that proven character will be actions rooted in submission: law-abiding citizens, obedient employees, submissive wives, loving husbands.
