“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, …” 1 Peter 1:3 (ESV)
Taking special notice of our passage today that tells us of incredible promises God has made to all who have chosen to believe the message of salvation. This salvation was secured by Jesus Christ when He willingly went to the Roman cross to be executed for crimes He never committed. The only pure and sinless human to ever live and walk on this earth was accused, beaten, lied about and killed for the sins of the world. It is through what followed three days after the cross that each one who in faith believes and through confession and repentance receives, a new birth into a living hope. And not just for a finite time in the future but for eternity, forever and ever. When Jesus Christ, the Son of God, resurrected himself from the dead, He was raised to a new life. That new life is given to all believers in our Lord and Savior Jesus who is one with God the Father. That is a promise that we can cling to and count on because it is ours forever as well. And there is much more.
