1 Peter 1:3 According to His Abundant Mercy

1 Peter 1:3 (KJV)  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, 

Sin is dealt with through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection from the dead. In Christ, we receive new life, “begotten” unto a lively hope.

Truly, God has been merciful, therefore we have our being. Let us, therefore, bless our God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and give our utmost thanksgiving for His sacrifice to purchase our salvation. Let us not forget all His benefits. Rather let us glory His Name by our testimonies, as proof that sin has been dealt with in our lives.

Thank God that there is a way out that Christ wrought. It is indeed most glorious and it is most costly to the Godhead to send the Son to suffer on our behalf, undeserving sinners.

May the Lord strengthen His people to show forth the blessing of eternal life to His glory. Amen.
