Classic Sermon #6058: A Glorious Inheritance
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The passage from 1 Peter 1:3-12 speaks about the glorious hope that God has called every believer to. Peter begins with praising God and emphasizes the Fatherhood of God over Jesus Christ. He then goes on to talk about how God, through his mercy, has made believers reborn for a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This hope is based on a historical fact, the resurrection of Christ, and it is a solid, sure, and dynamic hope. The hope is described as an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is reserved in heaven for believers. Overall, this passage emphasizes the importance of praise, the centrality of Christ in our salvation, and the hope that believers have in the resurrection and the inheritance that is waiting for them in heaven.
In this passage, the Apostle Peter speaks about the inheritance that God has left for his people through the death of Christ. This inheritance is incorruptible, uncontaminated, and unfading. It is a holy inheritance that contains the highest and noblest values of the entire universe. As Christians, we must live up to this inheritance by living uncontaminated lives. We must continually renew the interior shine of the inheritance through daily prayer, praise, service to the Lord, and gathering together with other believers. We are kept by the power of God to reach this inheritance, and we can have confidence in this promise. Our success in the Christian life depends on God, not on ourselves.
Salvation and success in the Christian life do not depend on us, but on Christ. We should celebrate this inheritance and continue to grow in the work of the Lord. A classic sermon by Dr. Roberto Miranda. Links to listen and download, as well as archives of classic and current sermons, are provided.

First of Peter, chapter 1, verses from 3 to 12, an epistle truly written for our times, although it was written almost 2000 years ago and the Lord has put it in my heart to share with you some ideas from this first epistle of the Apostle Peter. Let's look in verses from 3 to 12, and the word of the Lord says there:
“…blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who, according to his great mercy, caused us to be reborn for a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, for an incorruptible, uncontaminated and unfading inheritance, reserved in heaven for you who are kept by the power of God through faith to achieve salvation, is ready to be manifested in the last time….”
