Peter an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:1-5We Were Redeemed from the Punishment of Death by the Precious Blood of Jesus, as a Lamb Without Blemish for Our Sins, as Planned by God, His Father, Before the World Was Created
[For as much] as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, for your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, Who by Him do believe in God, that raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Peter 1:18-21
By Jesus' Death & Resurrection From the Dead, We Can Be Saved by Belief in Jesus, God's Son Who Sits on the Right Hand of God the Father
The like figure [where unto] even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto Him. 1 Peter 3:21-122

To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:10-11Their Faith in Jesus, God's Son & God the Father, Who Has Divine Power Calls Them to a Life of Glory & Virtue Through Knowledge of Jesus Christ, Our Savior
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Savior Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and Jesus our Lord. According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2 Peter 1:1-3
Peter & Other Apostles Were EYEWITNESSES When God the Father Spoke to Jesus Christ from Heaven, Saying This Is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am Well Pleased
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were EYEWITNESSES of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to Him from the excellent glory, This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount. 2 Peter 1:16-18

This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-8God's Commandment Is That We Believe in His Son, Jesus Christ & Love One Another
And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment. And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and he in Him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us. 1 John 3:23-24
God Sent Jesus, His Only Begotten Son, to be Born, Die, and Rise from the Dead, So We Could Live Though Him
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 1 John 4:9-11John Testifies That God the Father Sent His Son, Jesus, to Be the Savior of the World
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoseover shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in Him, and He in God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1 John 4:14-15

And he that keepeth His commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He hath given us. 1 John 3:21-24

Who is He that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? this is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.1 John 5:5-6
God the Father, Son/Word, and Holy Ghost Testified That Jesus Is His Son, Those Who Don't Believe Say God Lies and Will Lose Out on Eternal Life
For there are three that bear in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood: and these three agree in One. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which He hath testified of His Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5:7-9
John Writes That Those Who Believe That Jesus Christ Is God's Son Have Eternal Life, but Those Who Don't Believe Don't Have Eternal Life

John Warns for People, Including Believers to Not Be Deceived. Only Those Who Believe Jesus Is Jesus Son Will Receive a Full Reward-Eternal Life
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whoseoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 2 John v. 7-9
