In this study of 1 Peter we will look at the encouraging words Peter uses with the Christians in Asia Minor.  He knew that their persecutions weighed heavy on their minds and so his encouragements had to hold equal value.  He begins by calling them a Chosen People, referring to the Hebrews of old; then a Royal Priesthood, letting them know that even though were not Levites they were of Jesus lineage; then a Holy Nation, telling them that they were set apart as a group or family; and finally he calls them a People belonging to God, letting them know that they had been bought with a price and were now God’s to use.  These words were meant to build and prepare them for God’s work.
