Jorge provides an overview of the Apostle Peter’s letter to the early Christians, a group of believers scattered across five provinces of Rome. Written around 62-63 AD, 1st Peter offers encouragement and practical guidance for a marginalized, persecuted church. The message highlights the believers’ identity as chosen people of God, their calling to holiness, and the hope they have despite suffering. Peter emphasizes trusting God, remaining steadfast in faith, and living out their purpose in a hostile world. Through this study, we will dive into key themes of identity, purpose, and perseverance, addressing difficult passages and offering insights for applying these teachings to our own lives today.
