Peter’s First Letter to the Asian Churches

How To Live As Foreigners: Husbands and Wives (1 Peter 3:7)

Peter talks about how each Christian husband should relate to his wife.

How To Live As Foreigners: Everyone and Everyone (1 Peter 3:8-17)

Peter finishes his detailed description of what it looks like for every Christian to live as a foreigner in the world.

The Last Days of Earth 1.0 (1 Peter 3:15-22)

Peter does a deep dive into history to show Asian Christians that, no matter how invincible the Roman empire may seem, the dark powers that drive it have already been defeated.

The Last Days of Earth 2.0 (1 Peter 4:1-12)

Peter tells Asian Christians that, just like Noah, their central calling is to prepare an ark for the final Judgement Day.

The End of the Apocalypse (1 Peter 4:12-19)

Peter tells his friends that the last days of Earth 2.0 are going to be traumatic for everyone — but not to worry: for some, judgement leads only to death, while for others…new life.

The First Days of New Earth (1 Peter 5:1-5)

Peter explains that, while it is true judgement must begin in the center, in the family of God, this is only so that redemption can begin there too.

The City of God (1 Peter 5:6-14)

Peter finishes his letter with one final warning, one final promise, and one final reminder that God’s children have been called to live as refugees looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth.
