 Honestly, this passage should be pretty clear and should bring you joy. Notice what Peter says in 1 Peter 1 3 says, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy, according to his great mercy, has caused us to be born again. This is an act of God. God causes us to be born again. Not we cause ourselves to be born again, but he causes us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away. So our inheritance will not fade away. And notice what he says. This inheritance that we have, he says it's reserved in heaven for you who are protected by the power of God. So one, the inheritance is imperishable. Two, it's reserved in heaven for us. And three, we are protected by God for what? For our inheritance. This can't be any clearer and it should give us great joy that what we have in Christ now will always have, which is our salvation.
