Several years ago one of the astronauts who walked on the moon was interviewed and asked, “What do you think about as you stood on the moon and looked back at the earth?”
The astronaut replied, “I remembered how the spacecraft was built by the lowest bidder.”
We as Christians can rejoice that the work of salvation did not go to the “lowest bidder” but was performed by an infinite God.
There will never be a deficiency in his work.
Our salvation is as sure as the architect of that salvation, Almighty God.
Salvation did not come on accident but the love of God produced it.
Salvation did not come on accident, but love gave it.
SALVATION One of the key concepts of God’s revelation to humanity.
The biblical idea of salvation involves three notions.
First is the rescue from danger, harm, or even death of an individual, group, or nation.
Most specifically salvation is the rescue from sin and death.
Second is the renewing of the spirit.
Scripture explains that humanity fell from the original condition of moral purity into the state of sin.
God’s salvation always renews the spirit of a person to lead a life that is morally pleasing to Him.
Third is the restoration of a right relationship with God.
One of the effects of sin is separation from God.
The written word of God makes clear that salvation restores one’s relationship with God, as Rom.
5:10 says, “For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son.”
In both the OT and NT God’s salvation includes rescue, renewal, and restoration and is accomplished through the person and work of His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
What makes the love of God, which is Salvation, worth finding?
I submit to your that there are Three realities in our text that go beyond all expectations.
a living hope

At a time of struggle and lose to Christians everywhere, Peter encourages them to hold on by letting them know of God’s abundant Mercy that gives a Hope that is alive.
1. Salvation comes only by the Mercy of God.
New birth is a gift of love from God.
In all 26 verses says His mercy endureth for ever.
Because of His mercy we are begotten unto a lively hope, a hope that is alive.
Hope and Faith are closely related but they are quite different.
Hope is the object of Faith.
Faith is now, immediate.
Hope is futuristic.
If we only have hope of things in this world we are no better off then those that sin everyday and have not recieved Salvation.
Hope keeps us moving towards God.
It’s alive in us pushing us to be with Jesus forever.
Hope comes before Faith; without hope faith is diminished, lessened to this world only.
Edward Mote said it this way in a well known hymn,
My Hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus’ Blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
There was a slogan that said “keep Hope Alive”.
I understand what they meant, but a Christian’s Hope can never die nor lose it’s power because of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Because He lives the Hope within us is alive, thriving, and focused on seeing Jesus in peace, hearing the words “well done my good and faithful servant”.
Faith on the other hand is our keeping power.
God is able to keep us because we have faith in Him.
What is Faith that God uses it to keep us in this life that we can make it to life eternal with Him? Faith is the Actual Possession of thing hoped for, the conviction of The Confidence in the Reality of things not seen.
Faith is the Actual Possession of thing hoped for, the conviction of The Confidence in the Reality of things not seen.
Faith says that the things that I Hope for already belong to me.
Faith convicts me to know that what I can not see is real.
When we realize that this is what faith is we will understand we can make it through anything because we are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
Faith is the Actual Possession of thing hoped for, the conviction of The Confidence in the Reality of things not seen.
2. The love of God, which is salvation, is worth finding because He keeps our inheritance in heaven and ultimately we will have it in the new heaven and the new earth.
A saint’s inheritance is secured by God and cannot be stolen, corrupted, or defiled.
Everything on this earth will pass away, be destroyed and dissolve, but what is in heaven is holy, righteous and eternal.
Your inheritance is eternal life and all that comes with it.
Inheritance is based on the ability and substance of the parent or source.
The source is not man but God.
The love of God, which is Salvation, is worth finding because of the inheritance that is kept by God in heaven for you.
3. The love of God revealed through Salvation will be complete in the last times.
Salvation is the rescue from danger, harm, or even death of an individual, group, or nation.
Douglas C. Walker, “Salvation,” ed.
Chad Brand et al., Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2003), 1434.
The salvation now is salvation in the world, that shall be salvation from the world.
This is salvation going on amid dangers, temptations, and evils: that shall be salvation perfected in scenes of holy rest, and triumph, and peace.
And that fuller salvation is ready, prepared, waiting to be revealed
This Salvation is worth finding.
The benefits are greater then anything we have to give up, anything we might loss.
We are living in the last days and the last time that Peter is speaking about is almost here.
Peter writes a 2nd letter where he addresses the doubters.
One day the love of God will be complete for this world and He will usher in the new world.
Will you have found the love of God, which is Salvation.
One day all our names will be called for the judgement.
Where will you stand, where will you end up.
