Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Peter 1:21

_ _ by him — Compare “the faith which is by Him,Acts 3:16. Through Christ: His Spirit, obtained for us in His resurrection and ascension, enabling us to believe. This verse excludes all who do not “by Him believe in God,” and includes all of every age and clime that do. Literally, “are believers in God.” “To believe IN (Greek,eis’) God” expresses an internal trust: “by believing to love God, going INTO Him, and cleaving to Him, incorporated into His members. By this faith the ungodly is justified, so that thenceforth faith itself begins to work by love” [P. Lombard]. To believe ON (Greek,epi,” or dative case) God expresses the confidence, which grounds itself on God, reposing on Him. “Faith IN (Greek,en’) His blood” (Romans 3:25) implies that His blood is the element IN which faith has its proper and abiding place. Compare with this verse, Acts 20:21, “Repentance toward (Greek,eis,’ ‘into,’ turning towards and going into) God and faith toward (Greek,eis,’ ‘into’) Christ”: where, as there is but one article to both repentance and faith, the two are inseparably joined as together forming one truth; where “repentance” is, there “faith” is; when one knows God the Father spiritually, then he must know the Son by whom alone we can come to the Father. In Christ we have life: if we have not the doctrine of Christ, we have not God. The only living way to God is through Christ and His sacrifice.

_ _ that raised him — The raising of Jesus by God is the special ground of our “believing”: (1) because by it God declared openly His acceptance of Him as our righteous substitute; (2) because by it and His glorification He received power, namely, the Holy Spirit, to impart to His elect “faith”: the same power enabling us to believe as raised Him from the dead. Our faith must not only be IN Christ, but BY and THROUGH Christ. “Since in Christ’s resurrection and consequent dominion our safety is grounded, there ‘faith’ and ‘hope’ find their stay” [Calvin].

_ _ that your faith and hope might be in God — the object and effect of God’s raising Christ. He states what was the actual result and fact, not an exhortation, except indirectly. Your faith flows from His resurrection; your hope from God’s having “given Him glory” (compare 1 Peter 1:11, “glories”). Remember God’s having raised and glorified Jesus as the anchor of your faith and hope in God, and so keep alive these graces. Apart from Christ we could have only feared, not believed and hoped in God. Compare 1 Peter 1:3, 1 Peter 1:7-9, 1 Peter 1:13, on hope in connection with faith; love is introduced in 1 Peter 1:22.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Peter 1:13-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Peter 1:21

Who through him believe — For all our faith and hope proceed from the power of his resurrection. In God that raised Jesus, and gave him glory — At his ascension. Without Christ we should only dread God; whereas through him we believe, hope, and love.
