Why is First Peter so important? First Peter focuses on the importance of believers bearing up under unjust suffering yet continuing to live well. In this way, First Peter might be called the “Job of the New Testament”, providing encouragement for the true believer to continue on in the way that Jesus has laid out for all His followers. The endurance Peter called these believers to is similar to Job’s, a man who suffered despite his righteousness. Peter maintained that this was the kind of true perseverance that God expects from His people.
Live and Love: God the Father and His Word
