| Kept By the Power of God | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again to a living 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 to salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. | (1 Peter 1:3-5)

As Christians, we ought to be thankful to have such a loving and merciful God. We were all born into this world as sinners; but through the grace of Our Father, we are able to receive His gift of salvation by the shedding of Christ's blood on the cross. In order to benefit from The Lord's mercy, we must pray to Him with a sincere heart and ask Our Father to pardon our sins. Then once forgiven, we should follow God's teaching by reading, studying and learning His Word, The Bible. And when we walk in God's ways, we are guaranteed an inheritance in heaven and are kept by the power of God through faith.
