1Pe 1:3-9; 5:4 (WEB) Blessed be the God and Father… unto a living hope… 1:7 That the trial of your faith… might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ… 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive a crown of glory that fades not away.
Who: Hopeful believers awaiting Christ’s return.
What: A reminder of Peter’s promises: an imperishable inheritance and final vindication.
Where: In the theological promises woven through the letter.
Why: Glorification secures ultimate hope and gives perspective for present suffering.
When: When future hope feels distant or trials feel endless.
Prayer: Father, fix my eyes on the future glory You promise. Let that hope shape how I endure and love today. Amen.
