1 Peter 1:3-5
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Three features of the hope that God gives us

1 The Foundation of Our Hope

A The “great mercy” of God,
B The new birth we’ve experienced at conversion,
C The resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

2 The Nature of Our Hope

A Imperishable
B Undefiled
C Unfading

3 The Certainty of Our Hope

A A Sure Hope
(1) God is Guarding our Inheritance for us
(2) God is guarding us for our inheritance
B A Certain Hope
C A Hope that won’t be disappointed.
John 10:28“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand

Conclusion
1 Having this hope for the future changes everything about the way we approach the present.
2 It enables us to have joy even in the midst of earthly difficulties and peace in the midst of earthly uncertainties.
3 It also has a profound effect even on the most basic disposition of our heart as we go through the day.
4 It transforms us into a different person.
