---THE GREATNESS OF OUR SALVATION ~~
---(Please Read / 1 Peter 1:3-5)-- bible

---Salvation is simple enough for a child to understand, but it’s also so profound that we can’t plumb its depths. One thing we can know for certain is that it’s a work of God, whereby He regenerates a spiritually dead sinner into a new creation filled with the life of Christ.

Peter wrote his first letter to believers who needed encouragement because they were suffering persecution for their faith. He assured them, and us, with the following truths:

God has caused us to be born again to a living hope through Christ’s resurrection (1 Peter 1:3). If we set our hope on the things in this life, we will be disappointed because this is a fallen world, which groans with the effects of sin. As believers, however, we have new life and a living hope that transcends this world.

We have an imperishable inheritance reserved in heaven for us (1 Peter 1:4). Worldly investments and retirement plans can be decimated in a moment. But as heirs with Christ, we have a heavenly inheritance that’s being kept safe by God Himself.

We are protected by the power of God through faith for a future salvation (1 Peter 1:5). As God’s own children, we never have to fear the loss of our salvation, because our almighty Father keeps us in Christ. And we also have the guarantee of a future bodily resurrection when Jesus returns.

In trying or painful times, we need a hope that reaches beyond our circumstances—which is exactly what we have in Jesus Christ. From beginning to end, in life and death, we are held safely by God.

--WHAT IS TRUTH?

~~~~We have a desperate need for truth in this generation. With all of the Fake News versus Real News we hear, it's hard to ever know if what is being said on the airwaves is actually true or just a made-up story to rouse our emotions for or against one position or another. We have a constant barrage of protests and demonstrations that fill our news media, each with passionate people taking sides based on how the various arguments make them FEEL. We have a new generation rising that is choosing its belief systems largely based on the shifting sad of emotions. Unfortunately, believing what we feel is true is not the same as believing the truth according to the Word of God. Don't get me wrong; feelings are powerful when they spring from a regenerated heart, a renewed mind, and come from the fruit of the Spirit. But how we feel does not always give us an accurate perspective of the world around us. Truth never changes, no matter how we feel about it. Truth alone is a solid rock on which to stand. ~~
