[From the 10:45AM worship service this morning at Kosmosdale Baptist Church.]

1 Peter 1:3-5.

I. Introduction

A. We have no reason to follow, trust, or worship Christ if there was no resurrection.

B. But the disciples saw the risen Christ.

II. Summary: "God should be praised for mercifully regenerating us unto a living hope."

III. Reasons God Should Be Blessed and Praised:

A. We've been born again into a living hope.

B. We've been born again into an inheritance: imperishable, undefiled, unfading:

1. Imperishable: this inheritance cannot be lost through our physical death;

2. Undefiled: this inheritance cannot be lost through our sin;

3. Unfading.

C. We've been born again to a final salvation.
