A Call to Holy Living

This letter was written primarily to bring a message of hope and encouragement to Christians under persecution in modern day Turkey under Nero.

AD64-68  Nero-blamed Christians for the great fire in Rome and punished them cruelly.  1st of 6 evil emperors spanning to 211 AD.  Christianity wasn’t popular.  Peter martyred about this time. 

And yet, how did Peter say we should live?  I assure you he didn't say go wage war against Rome and take it over.

Scriptures:  1 Peter 1:13-21

Preacher:  Pastor Mark
