1 Peter 1:3-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  that is, into an inheritance imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. It is reserved in heaven for you,  who by God’s power are protected through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Everything we have been redeemed to be is in Christ Jesus, and is protected by our faith in Him. We do not have a hope that can be stolen away, but one that is everlasting. We are living under God’s great mercy right now. It is not only that we are changed, but even more we are made new. Our inheritance is assured, and we need not fear anything. Praise God for our hope that will be realized! Praise Him that He is faithful and worthy, to Him be all the glory and honor and praise!
