REASONS FOR 1 PETER: 1: It is a comprehensive book.
In only 105 verses, 1 Peter ranges over a wide field of Chris:an theology and ethics. Here is the great doctrine of redemp:on, from its concep:on before the founda:on of the world to its consumma:on in our receiving an inheritance that will never fade away. Here are repeated calls to holiness and to humble trust in God for each day’s needs. Here is prac:cal counsel for marriage, for work, for rela:ng to the government, for witnessing to unbelievers, for using spiritual giEs, for serving as a church officer.
Here also is profound comfort in sorrow, and insight, as far as God allows, into the deep mysteries of suffering…Here is the majes:c beauty of the church as a ‘spiritual temple’ in which we daily offer ‘spiritual sacrifices’ pleasing to God. And here is Jesus – the chief Shepherd who cares for us, the example who leads us, the chosen cornerstone who establishes and unites us, and the Savior who bore our sins in his body on the cross -‐-‐
-‐-‐ the one whom, not having seen, we love. The glory of Christ shines forth from this leRer into the hearts of all who read it…God’s words in 1 Peter will richly repay serious study, memoriza:on, and medita:on. Wayne Grudem

JESUS | THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
JESUS | THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 6:65 And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

And I will raise him up on the last day. 6:65 And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
LUKE | ACTS 9:15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the GenBles and kings and the children of Israel.
PAUL | ROMANS 9:10-‐21 And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad-‐ in order that God's purpose of elecHon might conBnue, not because of works but because of his call-‐ 12 she was told, "The older will serve the younger." 13 As it is wriVen, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there injusBce on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." 16 So then it depends not on human will or exerBon, but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. 19 You will say to me then, "Why does he sBll find fault? For who can resist his will?" 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" 21 Has the poVer no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honored use and another for dishonorable use?
JOHN | REVELATION 17:12-‐14 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast. 13 These are of one mind and hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."
PETER | 1 PETER 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy naBon, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

SOLIDIFYING OUR IDENTITY 1: ELECT. a: ElecBon is Biblical. b: ElecBon engulfs us in God. -‐ The Father architects salvaBon.
In the very beginning, when this great universe lay in the mind of God, like unborn forests in the acorn cup; long ere the echoes awoke the solitudes; before the mountains were brought forth; and long ere the light flashed through the sky, God loved His chosen creatures. Before there was any created being…when space itself had not an existence, when there was nothing save God alone—even then, in that loneliness of Deity, and in that deep quiet and profundity, His bowels moved with love for His chosen.
Their names were wriRen on His heart, and then were they dear to His soul. Jesus loved His people before the founda:on of the world—even from eternity! And when He called me by His grace, He said to me, "I have loved thee with an everlas:ng love, therefore with loving-‐ kindness have I drawn thee." Charles Spurgeon
