My soul drunk in the God’s message. The God of Glory is with us and for us!
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls (3-9).
Our new birth in Jesus gives us hope… hope in the resurrection!
Our new birth gives us an eternal inheritance that never rots or fades.
The blessings of our new birth are kept in heaven, therefore are kept by God!
In our new birth we are shielded by God’s power… God protects us so that we will make it. Trials will come, but they only prove the genuineness of our faith. These trials refine our faith, annealing us to be stronger and more pure of faith and heart!
There are the messages I hear from Peter today. And as he says, the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Alleluia! We make it! God sees to it! Alleluia!
So much, Lord, to be grateful for. So much, Lord, to praise You for! So much, Lord. Bless and praise You. Bless and praise and exalt You, Lord! Amen!
