Born Again to a Living Hope: A Messianic Commentary on 1 Peter - Paperback

by Igal German (Introduction by), David Wilber (Author)

How do we remain faithful to God in an ungodly world that opposes our beliefs and values? The apostle Peter addresses this question in his first epistle. Writing to persecuted believers scattered throughout Asia Minor, Peter urges them to remain steadfast in their faith, even though they are facing hardship and social rejection. Why? Because their everlasting inheritance is far more precious than any cultural acceptance or comfort the world can offer. Peter reminds them that the living hope secured through the Messiah's resurrection gives them reason to rejoice, even while they are suffering.

In this commentary on 1 Peter, David Wilber explores how the apostle's message continues to speak powerfully to believers today as we seek to navigate the tension between faithfully serving God and being good citizens of a society that rejects his ways. Combining careful scholarship with modern application, this work invites believers to stand firm in hope and holiness.
