and into an inheritance that is imperishable,  undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven  for you.

You rejoice in this,  even though now for a short time, if necessary, you suffer grief in various trials

to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations

What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, this Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we’ve been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The Day is coming when you’ll have it all—life healed and whole.

I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this all up, it’s your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory.
