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, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5, part of our Bible reading plan today.
Pastor Steven Lee preached a sermon on these verses. He said:
The main point in 1:3–5 is that because believers have an imperishable hope grounded in the miracle of the new birth, they can withstand trials with worship. Peter’s solution for trials and suffering is hope-filled worship grounded in God’s glorious work in salvation.
My aim is to remind us of the miracle of the new birth that gives us an imperishable hope that can withstand any trials that we’re experiencing or that may come.
My plan this morning is to look at our passage 1 Peter 1:3–5 and answer these two questions:
- What has God done?
- How do we respond?
