"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time."
The author pronounces blessing upon the Father, and the Father should be blessed by us too. He has shown us mercy. We were without hope, but now, because He "caused us to be born again" and because Jesus rose from the dead, we have a living hope. We expect an inheritance. This inheritance is eternal and is eternally satisfying. We need not fear loosing it, for we are being guarded by God's power. It is being saved for us, and we will be saved for it.
