This will walk you through how I study, showing you the questions I ask and the answers I arrive at. I hope this study makes you delight in God's word and encourages you to dig deeper in your own Bible study time!   In these early verses, we get familiar with the setting, writer, and audience before spending a lot of time focusing on a term that is central to everything Peter is about to say - what it means to their identity, obedience, and life as God's "chosen."   Full image of this study + map: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1voBM-aQfv78UWHp3ZyyIFuwK3I8lTzSU?usp=sharing How to Study Theology for Yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qpgSFSigBc How to Study Theology in Community: https://youtu.be/j-r5VCDsGs4?si=Y1f_WeIq78UtXLmv   00:00 Introducing the series 6:15 Today's passage 8:28 "Peter" 12:25 "Apostle" 15:30 "Exiles" 17:20 A Jewish audience? 22:36 A Gentile audience? 25:44 Comfort for the exiles 29:10 "Those" 30:48 "Chosen" - Grammar and the Trinity's work 41:11 "to the obedience of Jesus Christ" 43:07 "to the obedience of the sprinkling of His blood" 51:39 "Chosen" the foundation of this letter 59:10 Trinitarian work of salvation 1:00:38 "Grace and peace" 1:01:55 Study for the full meaning 1:10:44 Closing thoughts on the text 1:15:52 Wrap up   Get my books from Amazon! 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/2N9hWtH25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/0zoq8IH   Outro music by LesFM from Pixabay
