A living hope

Remember that our hope is in Jesus who is our eternity, God is our help, refuge, strength, love, peace, He is the one who sustains us at all times.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

1 Peter 1:3

Perhaps many people of those times thought that when they heard about Jesus’ death there was no hope, but they were wrong because Jesus had promised them that when they crucified Him, He would be resurrected on the third day. And so it happened.

This leaves us saying that our hope is kept alive forever and ever, and this is because we have a real God who fulfills what He promises.

Who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:5

It is very clear that the Lord himself helps us to remain in the faith, so that we can continue forward in the name of Christ, regardless of the obstacles that may arise along the way.

Christ is our helper. Only He can lead us to salvation and lead us to His promise. God continues to guide us so that we do not stray, but so that we can obtain our salvation.

And into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,

1 Peter 1:4

This Biblical verse explains to us that the Lord will give us an inheritance that will be totally free and clear of all evil.

It is good that we keep believing in His promises, and that we do not lose heart, but that we keep looking forward to Jesus Christ our Savior. So if you are not waiting for these promises and you do not believe that the Lord will give them to us then it is time that you believe, but I have very good news and it is that God promises and also fulfills it, but it is not when you want, but according to His holy will

When we speak about hope as believers, we are not speaking of a vague emotion or a positive mindset. Biblical hope is solid, grounded, and anchored in the finished work of Christ. His resurrection is the ultimate guarantee that everything He has promised will come to pass. The empty tomb is the seal that our faith is not in vain, that our struggles are not meaningless, and that our future is secure in the hands of a faithful God.

It is important to remember that the believers of the first century were surrounded by fear, persecution, uncertainty, and constant pressure. Many of them had lost everything because of their faith in Christ. Yet Peter tells them—and us—that there is a living hope, one that cannot die because its source is eternal. This is why the Christian can endure suffering with joy: because hope is not based on circumstances but on a Person, and that Person is Jesus.

God’s protection is another theme we cannot ignore. The verse says that through faith we are “shielded by God’s power.” This does not mean that we will never face trials, but it assures us that nothing can destroy the salvation that God has prepared for us. Even when we feel weak, God’s power surrounds us. Even when our faith trembles, His hand holds us firmly. Our perseverance is not based on our own strength but on His unchanging faithfulness.

The inheritance mentioned in Scripture is not like earthly inheritances, which fade, decay, or are lost with time. What God has prepared for His children is eternal, untouched by corruption, and preserved in heaven. This means that our greatest treasure is not in what we possess now, but in what awaits us in Christ. Every sacrifice, every tear, every act of faith in this life draws us closer to that glorious inheritance.

For this reason, discouragement must not reign in our hearts. Even when everything around us seems unstable, our hope remains firm because it is rooted in God’s eternal promise. Many people today place their hope in careers, finances, relationships, or personal achievements, but all of these things eventually fail. Only Christ offers a hope that does not disappoint.

So let us lift our eyes and continue trusting. If God has sustained you until today, He will continue to do so tomorrow. If He has promised an inheritance that cannot perish, then nothing in this world can take it away. Walk with confidence, knowing that the One who called you is faithful and that the hope you have in Him will shine forever.
