Blessings

1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV

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

What a beautiful message of hope and the power of Christ’s resurrection. Death could not hold Him down. From the cross to the grave, it looked like Jesus was defeated. But through the power of God, He rose. There was victory in what seemed to be a lost situation. Not only do we have the gift of salvation, God promises that it is imperishable. We can apply that principle to our lives today. No matter how bleak your situation seems, God’s mercy gives us promises of hope and victory.
