Answer Details
In 1 Peter, the apostle Peter encouraged the church to humble themselves before God so that He would exalt them. Peter believed that humility was an important virtue for Christians to cultivate, and that by submitting themselves to God's will and authority, they could experience His blessings and favor. Peter believed that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5), and that those who humble themselves under God's mighty hand would be exalted in due time (1 Peter 5:6). Therefore, Peter encouraged the church to submit to God, resist the devil, and draw near to God so that He would lift them up (James 4:7-10).

The Hebrew kingdom broke up because of Rehoboam's refusal to grant the Northerners' petition.

This decision caused the ten tribes of the Northern Kingdom to rebel against Rehoboam's rule and set up their own kingdom with Jeroboam as their king. Thus, the kingdom of Israel was split into two parts, the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom.

Answer Details
The parable of the unmerciful servant teaches Christians the importance of forgiving others just as they have been forgiven by God. In the parable, a servant was forgiven a huge debt by his master but he refused to forgive a smaller debt owed to him by a fellow servant. When the master found out, he punished the unmerciful servant for not showing mercy to his fellow servant. This parable emphasizes the importance of showing mercy and forgiveness to others, just as God has shown mercy and forgiveness to us. It also reminds Christians that if they do not forgive others, they will not be forgiven by God. Therefore, Christians should allow mercy to take precedence over justice and strive to forgive others as God has forgiven them.
