- 1 Peter 1:3,4 – Our hope is an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, reserved in heaven. False hopes can become corrupted or defiled or fade away.

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 ...

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.

Yet the foolishness of faith brings me into God’s presence....
Our hope is rooted in the resurrection—that is, centred in Christ, not only because He once died for the sinner’s guilt, but because He is now alive for evermore, our Advocate with the Father, our great High Priest as well as our Sacrifice.
