A Living Hope

Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. According to His great mercy, He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you. You are being protected by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. You rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to struggle in various trials so that the genuineness of your faith — more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire — may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:3‭-‬9 HCSB

We have just celebrated Easter and the resurrection factored heavily as although we are grateful Jesus died for our sins, His resurrection points to new life.

The hope we have is eternal life with Him for all eternity. It is not a small thing but rather a huge thing that lasts forever. God will not kick us out of heaven after He's had enough, but gone further in redeeming us for a new life in new heavenly bodies. There will be no more sin or sickness. Imagine a life where we only want to do good. There's a thought! No need for repentance because we won't sin. Hard to believe I know.

In my life here I am protected by God for this eternal salvation. It is not yet revealed. My present walk is a walk of faith in which I am tested. My faith is being purified Luke pure gold for that day. I will have treasure indeed to give my Lord. Amen!
