The introduction to this letter addresses it to God’s elect, those he has chosen to be his.

And the reason we can face challenging times with confidence.
This passage starts with a word of praise for what God has done for us. And note that it is not something he did because we were deserving of it; rather, it was because of his great mercy. God gives us new birth because he has compassion for those he has chosen. New birth implies starting afresh. What we were and what we had to look forward to are ...

And so, when something unpleasant comes along, they are left to wonder why. But it is unrealistic to expect...
The return of Jesus is still in our future. Those of us living and following him now have never seen him, either in the past or the present. But not seeing him with my eyes does not prevent me from believing in and loving him. The world will scoff at faith because it seems foolish to them. Yet the foolishness of faith brings me into God’s presence....
