REBORN
Tags: glad, glorious, guarded, inexpressible, infinitely, More, precious, tested, thrill
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an
ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead.
We have been born anew into an inheritance which is beyond
the reach of change and decay (imperishable), unsullied and
unfading, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are being guarded by God’s power through your faith
(till you fully inherit that final) salvation that is ready to be
revealed For you in the last time.
You should be exceedingly glad on this account, though now
for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer
temptations,
So that the genuineness of your faith may be tested, your faith
which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which
is tested and purified by fire. (This proving of your faith is intended
to redound to your praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ
is revealed.
Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not now see
Him, you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and
glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy.
(I. Peter 1.3-8).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
