Eye Has Not Seen

1 Peter 1:3-9

3 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,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled,
and that fadeth 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.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a
season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be
tried with fire, might be found unto praise and
honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now
ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the
salvation of your souls.

Now that you have been born again you have a living hope in the resurrected Christ Jesus. A hope of an inheritance in the kingdom of God that no one, man or demon or devil, can take away from you. Pray earnestly to grow in faith until the time comes for you to see the Master, face to face. You will fall on your face at His awesome power. This is the living hope you have that you will be with Jesus in heaven forevermore.

Romans 8:33-39

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's
elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that
died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even
at the right hand of God, who also maketh
intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or
famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all
the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the
slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

GRACE:
God's
Rewards
At
Christ's
Expense

So we understand grace, but do we truly understand the enormity of love God has shown us that is undeserved and unearned?

Romans 8:17

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also glorified together.

We are joint heirs with Christ, sons and daughters of God who we call out to Abba Father. What a huge blessing that God has bestowed on us. None can imagine what our inheritance will be like in the kingdom of God for those that love Him...

1 Corinthians 2:9

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them that
love Him.
