The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Peter 1:10-12

The revelation concerning God's gift: v. 10. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you; v. 11. searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, did signify when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. v. 12. Unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by... read more

1 Peter 1:3-12Analysis:—God is praised for the grace of regeneration and for the hope of the heavenly inheritance, founded thereon. Sufferings should augment and intensify the Christian’s joy, for they serve to prove his faith. The Spirit of Christ had directed the inquiries of the prophets to this end of hope, yea, even the angels were desirous of looking into this salvation3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath4begotten us again... read more

1 Peter CHRIST AND HIS CROSS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE 1Pe_1:10-12 I have detached these three clauses from their surroundings, not because I desire to treat them fragmentarily, but because we thereby throw into stronger relief the writer’s purpose to bring out the identity of the Old and the New Revelation, the fact that Christ and His sufferings are the centre of the world’s history, to which all that went before points, from which all that follows after flows; and that not only thus... read more

Our Imperishable Inheritance 1 Peter 1:1-12 Scattered strangers ! The designation is true of us all. Note the reference to the Trinity involved in the opening sentence. Our inheritance is prepared and kept for us, as we for it. We who believe may count on the guarding power of God. Not till our spirit is joined to a perfected body in the presence of Christ will our salvation be complete. Trial is manifold. There is more or less of it in every true life. The best diamonds take longer in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Peter 1:1-25

Like the letter of James, the purpose of this was to establish those who were passing through a period of suffering and testing. In his introduction the apostle used the name Jesus had given him, "Peter." He described those to whom he wrote as "elect . . . according to the foreknowledge of God," and "in sanctification of the Spirit." He approached the subject of the testing of their faith by reminding them of the heavenly nature of their vocation. The final issue thereof is an inheritance, all... read more

Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory 1 Peter 1:1-11 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As Peter opens his First Epistle he speaks of the strangers scattered throughout certain countries, then he goes on to tell us some things about these strangers, who, and what they are. By way of introduction to the study of this Epistle, let us consider these strangers scattered abroad. 1. The fact that they are strangers. Believers are not strangers to God, neither should they be strangers one to another. However, they are... read more

Strengthening the Brethren 1 Peter 1:10-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction we wish to emphasize the concluding message of our last sermon. 1 Peter 1:7 tells us of the trial of faith. It is described as being much more precious than the gold that perisheth, even though it be tried by fire, even though for a while we may be in heaviness through many temptations and testings. We may rejoice in the midst of trials, because they will be found unto praise, and honor, and glory at the... read more

The Book of Books 1 Peter 1:10-25 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is said on one occasion, when Sir Walter Scott was sick, he called his son requesting him to bring him the book. His son said, "Your library is filled with books. Which book do you want?" He is said to have replied, "My son, there is but one Book, bring me the Book." From the above story we have taken our theme: The Book of books. The Bible contains everything needed in the way of spiritual instruction. It proclaims prophecies, which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:3-12

The Great Privilege and Blessing That Is Theirs As God’s Elect Which Even Angels Desire To Look Into (1 Peter 1:3-12 ). The result of God’s foreknowing of us, and of the sanctifying work of the Spirit is now made clear as Peter expands on the activity of God. He is emphasising that God Himself works on us and within us through ‘sanctification in the Spirit’, and gives praise to God for it. This will then be followed in 1 Peter 1:13-16 with the expansion of ‘unto obedience, and in 17-20 with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 1:10-12

This Salvation Is What The Prophets Saw Before Its Time As They Prepared The Way For His Coming (1 Peter 1:10-12 ). Peter now stresses that what the prophets saw ahead in previous centuries was pointing to what we are experiencing. The ‘church age’, in which believing Gentiles are incorporated into Christ as the new Israel, is the fulfilment of the expectancy of the prophets, and the implication is that we need look no wider for the significance of their message. It is in the new Israel which... read more
