Peter is writing to the heart of the Roman Empire. The place where everyone was watching if you were a good, loyal, observant follower of the Emperor. It was the one spot in the whole world of the New Testament where it was HARDEST to live for Christ. It was here that the most intense pressure existed for conformity to Rome.
Peter’s challenge—Live as Pilgrims.
1 Peter 1:1-2: WE ARE PILGRIMS. We were chosen, saved, and sent to be useful to God the Father wherever we live, work, and serve, all by the power of the Holy Spirit, as we are obeying Christ and cleansed by Him.
