When Peter wrote his epistle to the early Church he encouraged them to be living a life of HOLINESS in a HOSTILE world.
Peter had known Jesus Christ personally. Peter had been one of Christ's disciples. Peter had observed Jesus and walked with Jesus in his ministry. Jesus modeled before Peter and the other disciples a life of absolute holiness in their hostile world. Peter wants his readers to do the same. He wanted his readers to be HOLY in an UNHOLY world. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
In verse 1 the Apostle Peter calls them Pilgrims in the KJV the believers there are called Strangers.
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ you are a Pilgrim just passing through this world.
You are a stranger in this place. This sin filled world is not your final home.
