Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Mat 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

What are the keys Jesus gave to Peter??????????

[prgallo]

The Gospel, which was also given to the other Apostle's as well.

We probably talk about that more in Lutheranism. The keys are the law and the gospel.

The law points out our sinfulness it binds us.

The gospel saves us, it frees us from our sins, so it would be that which looses things.

Some groups read that as if God left people's salvation in the arbitrary hands of some human, but what he left was his Word, the two parts of which are law and gospel, and he told people to go and share it with the whole world.

And note that we see two other passages about the binding and loosing, one where all the apostles are involved, another where it is simply two Christians, making it plain to us that the keys are not given only to Peter or only to a select group of people but to the church.

I agree the gospel and the law are two key(because the law leads us to Jesus), however Jesus gave Peter a whole keychain full of keys. I have listed some, however I can think of several more.
