Description: 1 Peter was written to believers facing unimaginable persecution-from torture and crucifixions to even being burned alive and used as human torches in Nero's gardens. What can we learn from these first century believers?  The book of 1 Peter is a powerful guide for navigating suffering for your faith.In this episode of Remnant Radio, we sit down with leading New Testament scholar Dr. Craig Keener to discuss his commentary on 1 Peter and explore its incredibly relevant message for believers today.Dr. Keener unpacks how the original recipients of 1 Peter were called “foreigners” and “resident aliens,” a term that highlighted their vulnerable status in a hostile world, especially in the face of impending persecution.We dive into crucial themes directly related to suffering and persecution, including:-Seeing ourselves as “foreigners” in this world.-How suffering for Christ became a badge of honor.-Responding to mistreatment with Christlike love, not retaliation.-Standing firm against Satan’s attempts to make us fall away through pressure.ABOUT THE GUEST:📖BOOK: https://a.co/d/8gh3af5ABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO:📧 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER https://www.theremnantradio.com📚 COURSES & CONFERENCES https://www.theremnantradio.com💝 SUPPORT OUR MINISTRY: • Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/TheRemnantRadio• Make a Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6&ssrt=1686780016992Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
