1Pe 1:3-5 (WEB) 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 by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Who: All readers of 1 Peter.
What: A reminder that Peter grounds hope in Christ’s resurrection and atoning work—your legal standing before God.
Where: In the doctrinal heart of the letter.
Why: Remembering justification steadies faith in trials and fuels sanctification.
When: When assurance wavers or doubt creeps in.
Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for the gift of justification. Remind me daily that I stand righteous because of Christ. Amen.
