Hope By God Through The Holy Spirit
1Pet. 1:3 ΒΆ gBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Not only did our LORD make it possible for us to be born again, he caused it. His resurrection had a specific cause for a specific people. I am saved because God caused me to be saved. Peter says we are born again to a living hope. The lost of our world have hope, but it's a dead hope. Hope only lives as long as it's source, and our source never dies! When a person's hope is in something that perishes like money, and they lose their money, they also lose their hope. What happened through the resurrection, and how does living hope tie into the resurrection? What do we have because of the resurrection? The holy spirit. So God caused us to be born again to a living hope by the spirit. All because of the Mercy of God.
