THE DAILY HOPE


"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you."
 
1 Peter 1:3-4
 
Did you get that?  It's a "lively hope" based upon the resurrection of Christ from the dead. It's a certain hope that goes far beyond a mere wish.  It's a steafast hope in that it's "incorruptible."  Our hope is defined as being undefiled, one that will never fade away.  We already have a place reserved for us in heaven.  The certainty of such hope provides us with the assuracnce of security -- eternal security.
