*Scripture reading: 1 Peter 1:3-5*
* *
*Title: 1 Peter 1:3-5 The completed work of Salvation*
* *
*Introduction: *One of the things that strike me about those that suffer terrible persecution is the peace that they have.
Steven the first Christian martyr looked his murderers in the eye and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
The pain of the stone was terrible, but there was no fighting no arguing, no blaming God.
Steven died violently, but peacefully.
His faith was rock solid and held firm.
He is not alone, millions of Christians have been martyred, yet they don’t recant they stand firm.
What a contrast to the world’s religions take Islam who’s followers fight to their deaths, hoping to take a few out with them.
There is something extra special about the genuine followers of Christ and Peter is about to used of the Lord to tell us what it is.
* *
*Central Idea: Our faith rest on nothing less than the power of an Omnipotent God.*
* *
Main Transition: This morning we continue were we left off last week.
Peter is in the middle of a deeply important truth to those who are suffering persecution.
The message is one we need to understand as well, as it directly reflects on the way that we live our lives.
So Peter continues his message by adding that genuine faith begins with new birth, genuine faith then looks ahead to a future inheritance, and finally genuine faith is protected by the power of God.

*I.
Genuine faith begins with a new birth (3)*
* *
* *A.
Believers receive a new beginning
1.
The completion of God’s grace causes Peter to burst out in praise to God, the Author of salvation and our true Source of hope.
2.
It is through God’s great mercy that we do receive this new birth
a.
the word mercy indicates that what God does is unmerited
b.
We were not only sinners, but indeed enemies of God, before our salvation.
We were hopeless and helpless to do anything about our condition.
c.
It is because of this mercy that God caused us to be born again
3.
The term that Peter uses for born again is only used one other time in Scripture that is found in this same chapter verse 23.
With both verses the context reveals that this new birth leads to lasting eternal results.
