Text: 1 Peter 1:3
- You must be born again to experience a "living hope."
- All believers are given "living hope" through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- God's definition of living hope is "an eager, confident expectation." It is not wishful thinking.
- Our "living hope" is anchored in the past because Jesus rose from the dead.
- Our "living hope" continues in the present because Jesus is alive.
- Our "living hope" endures throughout the future. Jesus promises eternal life to all who believe.
- Unbelievers do not have "living hope." (Ephesians 2:12) (1 Thessalonians 4:13)
Which hope are you experiencing in your life right now?
