In his sermon on 1 Peter 1:3–5, Stephen Davey explains how God’s great mercy sets off a “chain reaction of praise” in the believer’s life. Peter reminds suffering Christians that they have been born again by mercy, given a living hope through Christ’s resurrection, promised an imperishable inheritance, and personally guarded by God’s power until salvation is complete. Davey emphasizes that hope in Scripture is not wishful thinking but a confident expectation grounded in the risen Christ. Even when believers feel scattered, rejected, or forgotten, God guarantees their future and preserves them all the way home. Davey concludes that remembering who we are in Christ naturally leads to gratitude, worship, and praise—even on the hardest days.
