“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,”
1 Peter 1:3-4 KJV
Peter is revealing the mystery of the ages that we celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has shown us His extravagant mercy. For His fountain of mercy has given us a new life—we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We are reborn into a perfect inheritance that can never perish, never be defiled, and never diminish. It is promised and preserved forever in the heavenly realm for us! What a celebration - the first result of our new birth is that we are brought into a living hope in the power of God, based on the resurrection of Christ, to excel in life. The second result is an eternal inheritance, which is available now by faith, and is also reserved in heaven for us. All this, because of our heavenly Father’s matchless mercy and tender compassions! Glory to God!
