Persecution & Suffering Tracy L Marrs

1 Peter is often known as the book of Joy because it mentions the word rejoice in the text several times. Anytime the Holy Spirit repeats a word in a book we need to pay attention to the pattern. As believers, we do have Joy in Christ despite our circumstances. The book also has a heavy emphasis on humility as exhibited by Christ. You will learn a lot from this compact book. 2 Peter is both a practical and doctrinal book! You will learn about absolute faith that exhibits genuine works of the Spirit as opposed to a life that is empty without following Christ. You will notice that 2 Peter covers and confronts us in the practical areas of our life such as how we use our mouth. This short book will challenge and convict us as we read through this wonderful book.
