Reflection Questions:

In your own words, define the hope Christians have. How does 1 Peter 1:13-25 help Christians to be hopeful?

What does Peter mean by calling Christians to prepare for action? What kind of action does he have in mind? How do you know this from the context of 1 Peter?

What do action and sober-mindedness have to do with hope?

What exactly does Peter call Christians to set their hope in? In what verse do you read that?

What passions is Peter talking about when he tells Christians to not be conformed by them (1 Peter 1:14)? What does Peter contrast with those passions?

In your own words, define holiness. How can Christians be holy? Where does Christian holiness come from?

Paul calls Christians to love one another. Where else do you read this instruction in scripture?

What is the connection between hope, holiness, and love for one another?

Why does Peter here (vv. 20-21) provide detailed information about the Jesus’ identity and resurrection?
