1 Peter 5:6 - 10 is a helpful guide for a believer facing persecution. A series of five short lessons discuss these verses in the context of persecution. Links to these lessons are given below.
Lesson 1: Introduction
Lesson 2: The Importance of Humility
Lesson 3: Dealing With Anxiety
Lesson 4: Being Sober-Minded and Watchful
Lesson 5: When to Resist and When to Stand Firm
Lesson 6: What Does God Promise
Verses like these need to be interrupted in the context in which they were written. The theme of 1 Peter is hope in the midst of suffering and is written to believers who are suffering under persecution. It is in that context that these verses need to be understood, which is difficult for us in the west to grasp.
