1 PeterSteve Gregg
In this commentary, Steve Gregg delves into 1 Peter 1:3-12, examining themes of salvation, regeneration, and Christian motivation. He affirms that salvation is a rescue and deliverance from God, with its final completion to be revealed at the second coming of Christ. Gregg emphasizes the importance of faith, stating that regeneration comes through belief in Christ, and the motivation for a Christian should be to glorify God rather than themselves. He encourages believers to find joy in their trials, knowing that they have an eternal inheritance reserved in heaven.
