Those who came before

Faithful Examples Who Came Before
The books of 1 and 2 Peter remind us that we are not the first to walk the path of faith, nor are we alone in our trials. From the holy women of old who placed their hope in God (1 Peter 3:5), to the believers who endured persecution with steadfast hearts, Scripture calls us to remember those who came before us—those who stood firm in truth, lived with reverence, and awaited the promises of God. Their lives urge us to live holy and godly lives as we look forward to Christ’s return (2 Peter 3:11-13). Their faith leaves us a legacy and a challenge: to persevere, remain anchored in grace, and boldly live out our calling in a world that desperately needs the hope of Jesus.
