He told them that salvation opens to us life-long lives of hope. Look with me at I Peter 1:3 as we begin today.
1 Peter 1:3 (NKJV) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, first century believers looked for Christ daily.
