__________
Description: In this section, Peter moves from the grounds of our hope to the outworking of our salvation. Everything that follows in his letter is based on the previous passage, with our hope and salvation set on the resurrection and return of Jesus Christ. He is our only hope in life and death. We have new life and a living hope in him, by the mercy and grace of God. Our lives then flow from this truth and are to be fully set on this hope. Living this out requires readiness for action and lives that model our Father’s character.

Main Idea: We set our hope fully on the grace of God through lives of holiness as obedient children.
