It's easy to approach Revelation with fear and uncertainty. There are many things in Revelation that are confusing to us today that, apparently, was more clear to those who were accustomed to apocalyptic literature in the first century.

Did your parents ever remind you to "Remember who you are?" If so, it was a way to help you behave your best. It might have been this very intention of Peter in 1 Peter 1:1-5 to remind the Christians who received this epistle to do the same. "Hey Christian, remember who you are!"
How important is patient endurance? In it, Jesus says, "you will win your soul" (Lk. 21:19). Our ability to overcome impatience is not just a need for getting along, but getting to heaven. This lesson's goal is to help us understand what patience really is and to understand why we need it and when we'll need it.
