Бул аудиокитеп жөнүндө маалымат
Peter was jailed in AD 41-44 (the book of Acts records these events). He writes this letter in AD 62-63. He is then killed not too long after this in AD 64-67. This letter allows Peter to leave quite a legacy and hope to those that experience trials and burdens.
Believe it or not, assurance of salvation is a common issue with a lot of believers. There’s a lot of doctrine which touches specifically on this issue, and it will be mentioned quite a bit in this chapter of 1 Peter. The reason a lot of people have a hard time with their eternal security is because they will face suffering or conflict in their faith. They have the assumption that if they face trials or burdens, then there must be something wrong with their salvation. This simply isn’t true. Suffering actually should be producing the opposite of insecurity. It should be producing JOY! That’s what we need to focus on when we read through these verses. How does suffering lead the believer to joy?
The books of 1, and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, and 1, and 2 Timothy all focus on the same issue, which is the denial of Christ in the church. 1, 2, and 3 John warn about those people in the church who would deny Christ, and how to look out for that in yourself. 1, and 2 Timothy speak to the leadership around people who are anti-Christ, and how to maintain focus on Him. 1, and 2 Peter speak about how we can have joy in ministry while people are trying to reject your ministry for Christ.
