Because our future salvation in Jesus can never be taken away, we can live with confident joy today. No matter what losses we experience for our faith, even devastating ones, we will never ultimately be losers. In this text we see: We have a future glorious inheritance that can’t be taken from us V3-5; God uses our suffering to strengthen our faith, not steal our joy V6-9; We are in an incredibly privileged position today V10-12
