1 Peter 1 teaches us to praise Him for His great mercy and to rejoice in the hope we have in the resurrected Jesus for an imperishable inheritance, since we are "shielded by God's power" for our salvation. We are told therefore to "be holy in all you do" by setting " your hope fully on the grace" given by "He who called you". Lastly, we are purified by obeying the living and enduring word of God, giving us sincere, deep love for one another and genuine faith in our God that results in His praise, glory and honor.
