1 Peter 1:3-6

The Hope of Eternal Life

3 All honor to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is by his boundless mercy that God has given us the privilege of being born again. Now we live with a wonderful expectation because Jesus Christ rose again from the dead. 4 For God has reserved a priceless inheritance for his children. It is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And God, in his mighty power, will protect you until you receive this salvation, because you are trusting him. It will be revealed on the last day for all to see. 6 So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while. (NLT)

 

We are to honor God for His boundless love and mercy. It is through His grace that we are born again. Within the salvation that has been given to us there is also an inheritance that we will receive, a priceless inheritance that will not decay or change because God does not change or change His promises but fulfills them. During our time here we will have our faith tested and endure many trials but in the end as we endure there is wonderful joy ahead. So do not fret or worry for God’s might power and protection is with you as He is always with you.
