Religion & Spirituality
The apostle Peter wrote this letter to encourage Christians who had been scattered and were suffering persecution for their faith. His intentions are to encourage the saints to keep their focus on their glorious future with Christ and also to instruct them as how they’re to live in this present evil world while awaiting their blessed hope and eternal inheritance. So, Peter urges these suffering Christians to pay very careful attention to the way they live before the unbelieving, watching world with the goal of winning them to Christ.
