1Pe 1:3-5 ESV
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.
Jesus rose from the dead, and in doing so, is able to raise us from the dead. Our inheritance is the new earth of our immortal bodies. These bodies will be quite different from our impoverished bodies at present. They will be imperishable, undefiled, and unfading. God's promise is as pure and eternal as we will be.
The old creation awaits the revelation of the new creation. We know this to be true for we have been reborn into a new living hope which is the guarantee of this promise.
