Our living hope
1 Peter 1:2-7 "You are not forgotten, for you have been chosen and destined by Father God. The Holy Spirit has set you apart to be God's holy ones, obedient followers of Jesus Christ who have been gloriously sprinkled with His blood. May God's delightful grace and peace cascade over you many times over!
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 you.
Through our faith, the mighty power of God constantly guards us until our full salvation is ready to be revealed in the last time. May the thought of this cause you to jump for joy, even though lately you've had to put up with the grief of many trials. But these only reveal the sterling core of your faith which is far more valuable than gold that perishes, for even gold is refined by fire. Your authentic faith will result in even more praise, glory and honor when Jesus the Anointed One is revealed. "
Beloved, I just felt to share this passage of Scripture with our readers. Our Lord and Friend wants you to know that you are not forgotten. He is aware of you. Even though you may have put up with the grief of many trials, these are not to break you, but rather reveals the gold in you – your authentic faith. Be encouraged that the mighty power of our Lord and Friend guards you.
May you sense the abundance of His delightful grace and peace cascading over you, over and over.
