1 Peter 1:3-6
All honour to God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; for it is in His boundless mercy that He has given us the privilege of being born again, so that we are now members of the family of God.
Now we live in the hope of eternal life because Christ Jesus rose again from the dead.
And God has reserved for His children the priceless gift of eternal life, it is in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.
And God, in His mighty power, will make sure that you get there safely to receive it, because you are trusting Him. You will receive it on that last day.
So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though the going is rough for a while down here.
Ephesians 6:10
Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
Nahum 1:7
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trusts in Him.
