“In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade” (3). Peter was writing to believers who lived as “exiles” in various cities, enduring difficult trials because of their faith (1,6). Peter reminded them that their inheritance with Jesus was secure, no matter what happened to them in this life. They had been “born again” through the indestructible power of God’s Word (23), which had always pointed to the Messiah (10-12). 

When we cling to Jesus through difficult times, “the proven genuineness” of our faith is revealed and strengthened. Our enduring trust in God is worth more than gold (7).
