If you read these verses and let them soak into your brain - and you find yourself NOT worshiping ... you should check your pulse and see if you are still alive!

In just these three verses, God has:
1. Given us a new birth - a NEW birth!!
2. Brought us into a living hope - a LIVING hope!!!
3. Brought us into an inheritance that will never perish - NEVER EVER NEVER EVER!!!
4. Shielded us and protected us and this inheritance - SHIELDED!!!

Here's how The Message reads...

"What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole."

I can't don't understand how anyone cannot NOT worship and praise God (v. 3) when these truths become embedded into our hearts and minds.

1 Peter 1:3-5
