All honor to God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; for
it is his boundless mercy that has given us the privilege of being born again
so that we are now members of God’s own family. Now we live in the hope of
eternal life because Christ rose again from the dead. And God
Has Reserved For His Children The Priceless Gift Of Eternal Life; It Is Kept In
Heaven For You, Pure And Undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD
THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY
SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
1 Peter 1:1–25 (The Living Bible) 1 From: Peter, Jesus Christ’s missionary. To: The
Jewish Christians driven out of Jerusalem and scattered throughout Pontus,
Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia Minor, and Bithynia. 2 Dear friends, God
the Father chose you long ago and knew you would become his children. And the
Holy Spirit has been at work in your hearts, cleansing you with the blood of
Jesus Christ and making you to please him. May God bless you richly and grant
you increasing freedom from all anxiety and fear. 3 All honor to God, the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ; for it is his boundless mercy that has given us the
privilege of being born again so that we are now members of God’s own family.
Now we live in the hope of eternal life because Christ rose again from the
dead. 4 And God has reserved
for his children the priceless gift of eternal life; it is kept in heaven for
you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 5
And God, in his mighty power, will make sure that you get there safely to
receive it because you are trusting him. It will be yours in that coming last
day for all to see. 6 So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy
ahead, even though the going is rough for a while down here. 7 These trials are only to test
your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure. It is being tested
as fire tests gold and purifies it—and your faith is far more precious to God
than mere gold; so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test
tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the
day of his return. 8 You love
him even though you have never seen him; though not seeing him, you trust
him; and even now you are happy with the inexpressible joy that comes from
heaven itself. 9 And your further reward for trusting him will be
the salvation of your souls. 10 This salvation was something the
prophets did not fully understand. Though they wrote about it, they had many
questions as to what it all could mean. 11 They wondered what the
Spirit of Christ within them was talking about, for he told them to write down
the events which, since then, have happened to Christ: his suffering, and his
great glory afterwards. And they wondered when and to whom all this would happen.
12 They were finally told that these things would not occur during
their lifetime, but long years later, during yours. And now at last this Good News has been plainly announced to all of us.
It was preached to us in the power of the same heaven-sent Holy Spirit who
spoke to them; and it is all so strange and wonderful that even the angels
in heaven would give a great deal to know more about it. 13 So now
you can look forward soberly and intelligently to more of God’s kindness to you
when Jesus Christ returns. 14 Obey God because you are his children;
don’t slip back into your old ways—doing evil because you knew no better. 15
But be holy now in everything you do, just as the Lord is holy, who invited you
to be his child. 16 He himself has said, “You must be holy, for I am
holy.” 17 And remember that your heavenly Father to whom you pray
has no favorites when he judges. He will
judge you with perfect justice for everything you do; so act in reverent fear
of him from now on until you get to heaven. 18 God paid a ransom
to save you from the impossible road to heaven which your fathers tried to
take, and the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver as you very well know.
19 But he paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the
sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him for this purpose
long before the world began, but only recently was he brought into public view,
in these last days, as a blessing to you. 21 Because of this, your
trust can be in God who raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. Now your faith and hope can rest in him
alone. 22 Now you can have real love for everyone because your
souls have been cleansed from selfishness and hatred when you trusted Christ to
save you; so see to it that you really do love each other warmly, with all your
hearts. 23 For you have a new
life. It was not passed on to you from your parents, for the life they gave
you will fade away. This new one will last forever, for it comes from Christ,
God’s ever-living Message to men. 24 Yes, our natural lives will
fade as grass does when it becomes all brown and dry. All our greatness is like
a flower that droops and falls; 25 but the Word of the Lord will last forever. And his message is the Good
News that was preached to you.

Living God to give you the interpretation.
2 Peter 1:16–21
(Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy
that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He
received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory
there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom
I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven
while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the
message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a
lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning
star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above
all else, that no prophecy in Scripture
is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has
ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit
spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights
of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
