The introduction to this letter addresses it to God’s elect, those he has chosen to be his. No reason is given here for why God chose us, apart from his foreknowledge; God knew us long ago and has chosen us. Following this introduction, the letter reviews where we stand with God. And the reason we can face challenging times with confidence.
This passage starts with a word of praise for what God has done for us. And note that it is not something he did because we were deserving of it; rather, it was because of his great mercy. God gives us new birth because he has compassion for those he has chosen. New birth implies starting afresh. What we were and what we had to look forward to are ...
As God’s chosen ones, he has given us birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Vine’s Expository Dictionary defines hope as a “favorable and confident expectation.” What is this hope? Given the context, I believe it refers to a confident expectation that we will share in Jesus’ resurrection, knowing that we will som...

Do you ever find you’re surprised, and a bit discouraged, when you find yourself in the midst of challenging times? Somehow many Christians have developed the feeling that God should shield them from all of the owies that life throws our way. And so, when something unpleasant comes along, they are left to wonder why. But it is unrealistic to expect...
The return of Jesus is still in our future. Those of us living and following him now have never seen him, either in the past or the present. But not seeing him with my eyes does not prevent me from believing in and loving him. The world will scoff at faith because it seems foolish to them. Yet the foolishness of faith brings me into God’s presence....
Praise to God for a Living Hope. 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are ...
