Verse of the Day (October 3, 2019) – A sweeping concept alluding to the identity, citizenship, socioeconomic class, and innate potential that people receive at birth. New birth implies that Christians have a new identity and character that redefines their relationship with God and with society. Peter looks to what God has already done by raising Jesus from the dead (v. 3), to the present preservation of those who are God’s (v. 5), and to the future inheritance when salvation is fully revealed (v. 5).
