56. Jesus’ resurrection changes everything.

57. How is it that Peter, the disciple who denied even knowing Jesus now finds the courage to speak to the church about our living hope?

58. 1 Peter 1:3–5
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused

59. us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

60. 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

61. 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

62. To have a living hope, 1) we must be born again through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 2) we must be confident of our future, and 3) we must believe the gospel.

63. 1. We must be born again through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (v. 3).

64. Great underscores the vastness of God’s mercy.

65. God’s great mercy is greater than the greatness of your sin.

66. Born again is a metaphor for what God does to us on the inside when He makes us His own and we give our lives to Him.

67. It means to have one’s mind changed so that he lives a new life, a life that is joyfully conformed to the will of God.

68. We cannot just wipe away our past sins with future good deeds; we can never catch up, never balance the scales. We need a new birth.

69. There are no substitutes for this birth from God.

70. Unless one is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God. - Jesus

71. When we give up and give our lives to Jesus, we are born to a living hope.

72. Dead religions have dead founders and offer dead hope.

73. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. -Jesus

74. The problem is not proof; it is human pride
The problem is not proof; it is human pride. The problem is not with the head; it is with the heart.

75. not on the basis of deeds which we have done…, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit – Titus 3:5

76. Living hope comes through Jesus’ resurrection when the Holy Spirit supernaturally applies Christ’s resurrection to us.

77. To have true hope, we must be raised from the deadness of our sin and born again through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

78. 2. We must be confident of our future (v. 4).

79. Our inheritance: it cannot die, it will be unstained by sin, and time will never cause it to fade.

80. 3. We must believe the gospel (v. 5).

81. protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time -1 Peter 1:5

82. When we give ourselves over to God, we have access to His sustaining power through faith.

83. Don’t leave today without knowing you have been born again to God’s living hope through the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead.

85. He Lives

86. I hear His voice of cheer And just the time I need Him
I serve a risen Savior
He's in the world today
I know that He is living
Whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy
I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him
He's always near

87. Christ Jesus lives today He walks with me And talks with me
He lives He lives
Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me
And talks with me
Along life's narrow way
Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives
He lives within my heart

88. In all the world around me I see His loving care
And tho' my heart grows weary
I never will despair
I know that He is leading
Thro' all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing
Will come at last

89. Christ Jesus lives today He walks with me And talks with me
He lives He lives
Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me
And talks with me
Along life's narrow way
Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives
He lives within my heart

90. Rejoice rejoice O Christian Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King
The hope of all who seek Him
The help of all who find
None other is so loving
So good and kind

91. Christ Jesus lives today He walks with me And talks with me
He lives He lives
Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me
And talks with me
Along life's narrow way
Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives
He lives within my heart
