"Live in harmony is translated in the KJV as ‘be of one mind.’ NIV is a better description of Peter’s point. If we are in harmony with one another it is because we all have the same mind, same focus, same purpose in life—we make beautiful music together! Now, the truth is that we are willing to be of one mind with others—as long as they agree with us! But that’s not what Peter intends. His point is the same one Paul makes: we are, as Christians, to have the mind of Christ (1 Cor.2:16). His mind is to dominate, overpower, our minds."

"Peter, of course, had a specific audience in mind as he wrote this. We cannot be sure what his connection was to the recipients of the letter, but we know they belonged to Jesus. That’s why this letter matters so much to us. We, too, are God’s elect—chosen—and this letter is as much for us/to us as it was to those he is writing. We are God’s elect as well."

"I pray you can honestly praise God with a grateful heart for the new life He has given you! That new life isn’t just about heaven; it is also about life here on earth! After all, our new hope, according to Peter, is a living hope. Not a dying one. Is your life new? If not, why not?"

1 Peter 1:13-25

"'Therefore'... Peter begins tonight to deal with the appropriate response to the new life— the living hope—we have been given… We are call to 'prepare your minds for action'. Most of you know, by now, that I don’t like the word ‘prepare.’ I don’t think it’s urgent enough; that’s why I invented my own word—pre-prepare."
