We are now learning from Peter, the man feed by GOD'S inspirational food of wisdom and understanding, that the others also acquired the moment of their redemption through which they pasted into Genesis 2's salvation, from there all else is but history if written on paper other wise it just is, Now Salvation! Back during the Prophetic era it was but a theme of shadowy invisible images. You see light, love, truth and yes divine spiritual life is, Now! The body of our earth occupation is also become Now. Just as was Jesus' Now, from the moment of his birth through the gate by which Emmanuel, Messiah lived the Genesis 2 life in our humanity of innocence once again as the second Adam. But without an Eve of this realm, as our messenger assigned the mission of introduction to Heavens Kingdom in which there Light, Love, and Life of unspeakable richness. This is where we are even while our bodies struggle through on earth awaiting our spirit departure.
1Peter 1:3-9 "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, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 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: 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: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls." (KJV)
1Peter 1:3-9 "Blessed 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, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." (ESV)
1Peter 1:3-9 "So let us [1]boast about it and bless GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with articulate acclaim! He has reconnected us to our original genesis through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead! This new birth endorses and celebrates the hope of the ages; GOD'S eternal love dream concluded in life! (Now here is where it gets interesting; the word, [1, G2128 from G2127 eulogeō, a compound of G2095 epopteuō, to inspect, and G3056 logos, something said, divine expression, inspiration] eulogetos, means to brag, to bless, to speak well of. Jesus reminds Nicodemus that we are born anouthen, from above in John 3:3 and then again in 3:13. No one can fully engage in heaven's perspective, unless one's heavenly origin is realized! The Son of man declares humanity's co-genesis from above! And now through our joint resurrection, we are reconnected again to our original identity as sons. The word, anagennao, is from (G303) ana, meaning upward, reconnecting with anouthen - John 3:3 - from above, where we came from in the first place (Genesis 1:26-27 to 2:6-7); and (G1080) gennao, to regenerate, a variation of G1085 genos, to procreate, give birth. As much as his death brought dramatic closure to our futile and failed attempts to justify and define ourselves, our co-resurrection rebooted the original blueprint of our Maker's image and likeness within us! ) We are reintroduced to an [1]imperishable inheritance, which has been [2]flawlessly [3]preserved for us in the heavenly realm, where neither Adam's fall, nor humanity's failures to justify themselves, could possibly [2]contaminate, discredit or diminish the original portion of our true sonship realized in Christ Jesus! (Herein Peter employed three adjectives to reinforce the idea of the absolute imperishable integrity of our inheritance. The word, [1, G862 is from G1 with G5351] aphthartos, is from (G1+G5351) a + ptheiro, incorruptible, indestructible, that which time cannot decay or decrease; the word, [2, G283] amiantos, is G1+G3392 a + maraino, extinguish, neither time nor decay could touch or contaminate it in any way! The verb, (G5083) teteremenen, is the perfect Passive tense, which translates having been kept, to guard from loss or injury, to keep ones eye upon (as in Deuteronomy 32:10, Zechariah 2:8). Look also at Hebrews 6:16-17) Your legitimate inheritance was guarded all along by GOD'S belief in you, to be fully unveiled in the [1]conclusion of time as the perfect solution to humanity's predicament! ([1]Jesus is the incarnate Word (revelation of GOD), Hebrews 1:1-3, Galatians 4:4) So, regardless of any degree of contradiction, whether prolonged, or swift, your reason for exuberant joy remains uninterrupted; even at times where you might have occasion to feel utterly miserable. This will help you in those difficult times: think of your belief as something much more precious than any possible evaluation of gold; remember that fire does not destroy this metal, it serves to reveal it! Now even gold is an inferior comparison to faith! Gold as a currency has only temporal and unpredictable value; it fluctuates as the market changes. Now, in the same way that fire reveals gold, your faith in the midst of contradiction, make Jesus Christ visible and gives much reason for testimony [1]stories worth telling. This is what has permanent [2]value, and exhibits the glory of Christ in you! (The word often translated as praise, [1, G1868 from G1909 and the base of G134 ] epainos, has two components, (G1909) epi, contunual influence upon, and (G134) ainos, which often reflects a story worth telling; the word, [2, G5092 from G5099 tinō, to pay the price] timay, means to honor, suggests a valuing by which the price is fixed. LOOK also at 2Corinthians 13:5.) So even though you have seen Jesus in your flesh you love him; even at times where he seems remote and invisible, your awareness of his presence your union with him continues to ignite belief! You are leaping with indescribable and exuberant joy as you hold him in highest esteem! In this place of joy, you are [1]beyond the reach of any harm. Joy gives your faith a voice and substance to announce the perfection of your soul's salvation. (Joy celebrates the fulfillment of Scripture! Belief gives evidence of everything the Prophets pointed to! The word, [1, G2865] kolumbao, means to carry off from harm! Look also at 2Corinthians 5:10.) (The Mirror, with editing.)
Again may our LORD richly bless both you and yours as his salvation realization becomes a living thing with in us all.
