Children of God Heavenly Inheritance 1 Peter 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ., who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4: to an inheritance incorruptible and undefined and that does not fade away, a reserved in heaven for you, 5: who are kept by the power of God through faith salvation ready to be revealed in the last time 6: in this greatly rejoice, through now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7: that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by the fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ., whom having not see you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 Recieving the end of your-- the salvation of your soul. Do you need encouragement? Peters words offer joy and hope in times of trouble, and bases his confidence on what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. Were called living hope of eternal life(1-3). Our hope is not only for the future; eternal life begins when we trust Christ and join Gods family. No matter what pain or trial we face in this life, we know that it is not our final experience.eventually we will live with Christ Forever! When he speaks of trials, he not talking about natural disasters or the experience of Gods punishments, but the response of an unbeliieving world to people of faith. All believers face such trials when they let their light shine into the darkness. We must accept trials as part of refining process that burns away impurities and prepares us to meet Christ. Trails teach us patiencd( Romans 5:3, 4 James 1:2,3) and help grow to be the kind of people God wants.
