1 Peter 1:3-5

He Has Won No Matter How It Looks

1 Peter 1:3–4 CSB

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of 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 is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.

living hope means there is a dead hope we once clung too and we are tempted to run back too when being a christian isn’t bringing the good life

The Message of 1 Peter 5. What Is Its Message?

The reality of what Christ has done makes sure the hope of the Christian ‘brotherhood’. Christians can not only endure suffering for Christ’s sake; they can rejoice, for in their agony they are joined to Jesus who suffered for them. Their very sufferings become a sign of hope, for, as Christ suffered and entered into his glory, so will they. The Spirit of glory and of God rests on them (4:14).

Whether their neighbours attack or respect them, they can bear witness to the grace of God by their Christian lifestyle

Nothing Can Stop What Is Coming

1 Peter 1:5 CSB

You are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
