Within a few short years of Jesus' death and resurrection, the Apostle Peter would write to the struggling believers scattered throughout" to encourage them as they dealt with a culture in moral decline. As "obedient children," he told them in 1 Peter 1:14, "do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." (NIV) Today's believers are living in an era of no less cultural decline and require equal biblical encouragement and accurate biblical information in order to deal with their world. Peter writes later in 2:12, "Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
