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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Den Hollander\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0995065977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995065970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucerna: Crts Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"William Den Hollander","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48743255900415,"sku":"9780995065970","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1-peter-william-den-hollander-9780995065970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
