“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to
His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept
by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the
last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5 NKJV
What do we need really? What is the secret of life? Well, we need power
to handle our lives in the midst of pressures and troubles. Yes, the power of
God continues to keep us through faith for our salvation ready to be revealed
in the last time. It doesn't mean salvation after death although it is true and
included as our eternal inheritance marvelously prepared for us in heaven.
This is our living hope in Jesus Christ the Lord. The living hope is
sealed by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, so it is able to lead
us to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away,
reserved in heavenly places for us. Heavenly places are the invisible realm of
reality, not some remote place in space. It is where our God rules with power
and authority right now.
Therefore, we have possessed the incorruptible inheritance through faith
in Jesus Christ. No power or authority in heaven and earth can defeat our
inheritance because it is sealed and protected by the Lord Jesus Christ who
rose again from the dead. Our inheritance is the unsearchable riches of Christ,
the fullness of God which has been revealed in the Son Jesus Christ. Jesus
Christ is our glorious inheritance and we are His inheritance. He indwells
within every believer's heart, so He is available at any moment to meet our
needs abundantly.
