An Inheritence

1 Peter 1:3-4 Good News Translation (GNT)

A Living Hope


3 Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of his great mercy he gave us new life by raising Jesus Christ from death. This fills us with a living hope, 4 and so we look forward to possessing the rich blessings that God keeps for his people. He keeps them for you in heaven, where they cannot decay or spoil or fade away.

 "Knowing that we have such an inheritance in the future enables us to live differently in the present. We can take risks for Christ, knowing that our future is safe. We can be generous with our stuff, because our treasure is in Heaven. We can endure loss, rejection, and even death for Christ in this life, knowing that in the next life we will have prosperity, peace, and joy in His presence forever." - Jonathon Kroeker
