RD and Greg jump into 1 Peter with some history of the book, including who authored it. RD states early on that 1 Peter was written to the "elect exiles."
Greg reveals that the major themes of 1 Peter are suffering, the divinity of Jesus, and the apocalypse. RD adds that we shouldn't be surprised when we experience suffering as a Believer because we are told again and again in the Bible to expect suffering.
Greg points out that our faith is more valuable than our circumstances, as is explained in 1 Peter. He also explains sanctification for listeners.
Greg references 1 Peter 3, and explains how we on earth will never fully understand God or the Bible, but that doesn't mean we can't still trust the Bible.
