A Heavenly Inheritance
3 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 through the resurrection of Jesus
Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance
incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in
heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God
through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Salvation given by God is a inheritance that nothing can
take away. Our sin can not damage it, our stupididy can not make it
less. It is something the Lord is going to present to us just
because. I got to thinking about the so called barn in heaven of the
blessings there that we did not get cause we did not ask. I think it
is a place where God is going to give to us in Jesus in heaven. God
is going to bless you in heaven because he can.
Note this is something that does not fade and kept in
heaven for you. Heaven is a gift not a thing you get in by working
and something that is given to one who has accepted Jesus or been
forgiven or saved. It is kepted by GOD not you. God is not able to
lose anything and your not going to be the first thing he doers. No
He is not going to let you go and you cannot take away your salvation
or give it up. Jesus is the one that died and rose your not. Jesus
gave the gospel to you.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though
now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various
trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being
much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by
fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of
Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though
now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy
inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end
of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
Here it is. If you lost on earth and feel sad your get
more in heaven.
10 Of this salvation the prophets have
inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that
would come to you, 11 searching what, or what
manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating
when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories
that would follow. 12 To them it was revealed that,
not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which
now have been reported to you through those who have preached the
gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which
angels desire to look into.1
Angels do not know the salvation you and I have.
