In his great mercy, God has given us a new birth into a living hope! That is good news! When the believers in the first century received Peter’s letter, they must have been filled with joy, despite the suffering they were facing. How are we called to live as we await the return of Christ? The hope we have in Jesus is not a vague wish; it is a certain expectation! In this portion of Peter’s letter, we discover four ways to live for Christ: Gird our minds, pursue holiness, choose reverent fear, and remember past redemption. If you ever wonder what your worth is, remember God chose to redeem you through the blood of His Son, even before the creation of the world! You matter!
