As hostility toward Christians spread, the early church was losing heart. Suffering and persecution marked their lives.

Questions arose. Faith wavered.

Peter knew suffering, but Peter also knew Jesus. He had seen Him with his own eyes, sat under His teachings, and watched Him suffer as well.

If there was anyone who could understand suffering and the call to steadfast faith, it was Peter. This is why his letters are an encouragement to anyone facing hardships and trials.

Peter's words are a reminder to them and us that we can be steadfast because our God is steadfast. And when we persevere, what awaits us in eternity is worth far more than anything this world has to offer.
