FRESH START AND LIVING HOPE
INTRO:
Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)
24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
1 Peter 1:3-9 New Living Translation (NLT)
The Hope of Eternal Life
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is 1. BY HIS GREAT MERCY THAT WE HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. 2. NOW WE LIVE WITH GREAT EXPECTATION,
4 and we have a 3. PRICELESS INHERITANCE—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.
5 And 4. THROUGH YOUR FAITH, GOD IS PROTECTING YOU BY HIS POWER until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
6 SO BE TRULY GLAD. THERE IS WONDERFUL JOY AHEAD, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
Conclusion
8 You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. 9 THE REWARD FOR TRUSTING HIM WILL BE THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOULS.
