How do we know that our inheritance is secure?

The security of our inheritance is rooted in the work of Christ, who died to provide the blessings of the New Testament. As stated in 1 Peter 1:4-5, our inheritance is not only incorruptible and undefiled but is also kept by God’s power until the day of salvation. This reservation reflects God's sovereignty and faithfulness, assuring believers that nothing can cause our inheritance to be lost or diminished. The resurrection of Jesus Christ further solidifies this promise, as He is the Firstborn from the dead, providing a live hope that assures us we will one day enjoy the fullness of our salvation. Our confidence rests not in our ability to hold onto salvation but in Christ’s finished work and God's preserving grace.
