The Greatness of Our Salvation
1 Peter 1:3-5

Salvation is simple enough for a child to understand, but it’s also so profound that we can’t plumb its depths.

One thing we can know for certain is that it’s a work of God, whereby He regenerates a spiritually dead sinner into a new creation filled with the life of Christ.

Peter wrote his first letter to believers who needed encouragement because they were suffering persecution for their faith.

Peter assured them, and us, with the following truths:

God has caused us to be born again to a living hope through Christ’s resurrection.
1 Peter 1:3

If we set our hope on the things in this life, we will be disappointed because this is a fallen world, which groans with the effects of sin.

As believers, however, we have new life and a living hope that transcends this world.

We have an imperishable inheritance reserved in heaven for us.
1 Peter 1:4

Worldly investments and retirement plans can be decimated in a moment.

But as heirs with Christ, we have a heavenly inheritance that’s being kept safe by God Himself.

We are protected by the power of God through faith in Jesus for our salvation.
1 Peter 1:5

As God’s own children, we never have to fear the loss of our salvation, because our almighty Father keeps us in Christ.

We also have the guarantee of a future bodily resurrection when Jesus returns.

In our trying or painful times, we need a hope that reaches beyond our circumstances, which is exactly what we have in Jesus Christ.

From the beginning to end, of our life and death, we are held safely by God because of our faith in our intercessor, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and arose from the dead for our sins.

This Easter Sunday due to this pandemic virus we must each individually be in prayer, thanking our Savior for His intercession, making possible for our salvation.
