1 Peter 1: 3In his great mercy God has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
This scripture assures us that we are no longer under
condemnation but we have received great mercy from God when we accepted Jesus
Christ as our Lord and Saviour and now that Jesus had defeated spiritual death
we too now no longer have to go through this judgement of eternal death.
We the children of God saved by the blood of Jesus have the
eternal hope of living with Jesus and God the Father in heaven in all eternity.
God has forgiven us of all our sins when Jesus paid that ultimate price on the
Cross for us all. Our sins are no longer counted as Christ had redeemed us
through His crucifixion on the cross.
All believers are taught that we must live our lives
constantly close to Jesus. We need to develop and possess the characteristic of
Jesus; we need to demonstrate His love and His character in our lives. He has
removed all or burdens of our past sins and guilt. Now we live a new life and
have a new hope in Him and are assured of eternal life.
This is what we live for, the eternal hope of living and
inheriting the kingdom of heaven when our time is over on this earth.
We have seen many of our friends and loved ones passing on
before us, some of them are old and some are young but our hope is that we will
meet them again when we cross over when our time comes.
