Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead – 1 Peter 1:3
Blessed are you, Lord God, Sovereign Maker of us all, God of Salvation of all who believe and are reborn in Christ. We have been recreated and saved as a favor of your goodness and mercy towards us, sinners, and as a consequence of the mighty power you unleashed to give us deliverance from spiritual death into life. You have offered us redemption as a free gift through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus and separated us from the threshold of sin, not because of our merit, but by your saving grace.
You have instilled us with living hope through the resurrection and ascension of Jesus into heaven. He established an everlasting inheritance for us in your Kingdom, purging us of sin and death by taking it upon himself. We continue waging war on the evil influences of our temporal earthly state, gaining strength from the assurance that Christ’s love and hope will continue to radiate in our lives.
Lord, we keep our gaze fixed on our real rewards which rest in your promise of an imperishable providence and inheritance as your children, in your Presence, as Triune Godhead of Father, Son, Holy Spirit, in the company of the heavenly multitude. We will ever continue to persevere in striving to be deemed meritorious, by living in Christ and for Christ and by pursuing in accomplishing Christ’s mission in Christ’s Name. Amen
