A Living Hope

These promises are for those who trust in Jesus and receive eternal life.

1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

1Pe 1:4  to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 

1Pe 1:5  who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 

1Pe 1:6  In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 

1Pe 1:7  so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 

In Jesus we are saved, we are being saved and we shall be saved when we meet him in glory

2Co 5:7  for we walk by faith, not by sight. 

2Co 5:8  Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 

2Co 5:9  So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 

Mar 12:26  And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 

Mar 12:27  He is not God of the dead, but of the living...

Jesus offers the free gift of eternal life. We must willingly receive the free gift.  Thank you Jesus for coming to make the way of forgiveness of sins and eternal life in the love of God.
