1–2 Peter
Overview
In his first epistle, Peter, who was the chief Apostle, focused on ways the Saints could be strengthened through the immense trials they were experiencing at the hands of the Romans. He encouraged the Saints to always be ready to testify of truth and reminded them of their divine heritage (see 1 Peter 2:9; 3:15). He taught that Jesus Christ preached the gospel in the spirit world after His death, making the blessings of the gospel available to all of Heavenly Father’s children.
