To me, it looks like the writer of 1 Peter knew the OT and used that knowledge to convey his message.

The church is the realization of God's redemptive work that began with Israel and that was pointed to by the law and the prophets. The church is an elect people who are wholly God's by His own decision and who He is purifying for Himself.<BR/><BR/>2.)

It's not an easy task but we are forced to consider the connected nature of redemptive history as related in the Bible.James Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765813817236444797noreply@blogger.com
