Grace, Glory, And Goodbye - 1 Peter 5:10-14 - a podcast by Rev. Gregory G. Capel, Jr.

The Epistle of 1 Peter was written from a pastor’s heart for believers who are scattered, suffering, and slandered. Peter’s goal was to exhort believers to remain faithful while scattered and experiencing suffering amid a hostile world. Though living in a hostile world, they have a living hope which originates in the Father’s foreknowledge, the Holy Spirit’s sanctifying, and the Son’s sprinkled blood. Furthermore, they are blessed and rejoicing amid their trials because they have a living hope, and inexpressible, glorious joy.
Peter also exhorted believers to exhibit a lifestyle different from this hostile, pagan world. Such a lifestyle requires saturating one’s mind in God’s Word, following the Law of God, imitating the holiness of God, loving one-another, and submitting to authorities. Additionally, Peter encouraged believers to endure suffering by following the example of Christ, who did not return evil for evil. Now in 1 Peter 5:10-14, Peter brings his epistle to a close by reminding his readers of God’s grace and glory before saying goodbye.
