"All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. - 1 Peter 1:3-9 This section of scripture really defines what a relationship with Jesus means for you. Christ died for your sins, and was raised again so that you could receive God's mercy. And when you have faith in Him, He will protect you. You'll still face struggles, but if you endure and remain faithful, you will receive an eternal salvation! Even when you go through dark times, you can rejoice because of the promise of an eternity with God in Heaven! Christ died for your sins to give you this gift. You have a priceless inheritance in Heaven, all because of Jesus!
