Key points:
We are begotten again, born again.
Our faith, protected by God’s power and the rewards is in heaven.
This hope gives us joy but persecution on this earth is unavoidable and so we go through various trials.
The greatest reward for our faith is the salvation of our souls.
The prophets of the past, their prophecy of grace and the Spirt that testified Jesus’ suffering and the glory after.
