1. Note the blessings God has given His people in 1:3-5.   What significance do each of these four blessings have for the believer?

   1. * We have been given "new birth" (1:3)

   2. * We possess a "living hope"  (1:3)

   3. *We possess a future "inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade."  (1:4)

   4. *We are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time." (1:5)

2.  Why do we need to be "born again"?

3. What does it mean to be "born again" or "regenerated"

4.  Here are some other passages which talk about being born again or regeneration.  How do they help you better understand what being "born again" means?

   1. John 1:12

   2. John 3:3-8

   3. Titus 3:3-7

5. Why will you never lose your salvation if you are truly saved?

6. When will you as a believer finally be fully conformed to the image of Jesus Christ?  What significance does this have in light of Genesis 1:26-28; Romans 8:18-25; Romans 8:28-29; 1 John 3:1-3; and Revelation 21:1-8?

Third Segment May 14, 2020 (scroll down)

And for those of you who are interested here are some study guide questions that may be helpful to you as you think through this segment of the study which will primarily deal with 1 Peter 1:2-3.

1.  Peter begins the letter by reminding his readers of the greatness of their salvation.  How does learning about and understanding how God saved us help us live and enjoy the Christian life especially when undergoing suffering?

2.  According to Peter who are the chosen?

3.  What does Peter mean by saying that believers are chosen according to God's foreknowledge?  Does this mean that God chose those whom He knew would first choose Him?  Can you think of a passage of scripture that would help you answer that?

4.  What is the Holy Spirit's role in our salvation?

5.  Is there a place for human responsibility in God's plan of salvation?  If so, what is it that a person is responsible to do in order for the gospel to be effective in his or her life?

6.  How does 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 help us understand why God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4)?

7.  What, according to 1 Peter 1:2 seems to be the reason for being chosen by God?

8.  How does Romans 5:1-5 help us understand the last phrase of 1 Peter 1:2, "Grace and peace be yours in abundance."
