Through The Resurrection

by Tim Davidson | A Verse A Day

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

(1 Peter 1:3 NASB)



There are so many blessings available to us because Jesus was raised from the dead. The ultimate power the enemy had over us was the fear of death. Now we fear nothing. God was so good to us by raising Jesus from the dead. He has given us fresh life and a new hope that lives on and on and on.

The Message Bible says: What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for.

God has given us a new birth because of His great mercy. We have been born into a new life that has a confidence in it because the uncertainties are removed. And now all our dreams have become possibilities. Dream on.

Today’s Thought to Take With You:

Through the resurrection of Jesus, I have mercy from God and a new life to live.
