1 Peter 2:11 begins with Peter addressing his audience as “beloved”. They’re “loved ones”. They’re loved by Peter, and ultimately by Jesus. This is the primary identity of a Christian, they belong to Jesus and they are deeply loved. All of live should be lived from this identity. Because we’re loved and have been made new, we’re to abstain from sin, to kill it. Additionally, we’re sent to love people and invite them to follow Jesus with us. Because of who you are, be innocent of evil and excellent at what is good!
