Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Peter 1:4-5

"unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." — 1 Peter 1:4-5 (ASV)

To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Joy, my brothers, in the glorious inheritance which is prepared for you, unstained, uncorrupted, perfectly pure, and therefore to last forever, because the elements which produce decay are not in it. It is without sin, and therefore it shall be without end.

What a mercy it is to be kept by the power of God! See, heaven is kept for us, and we are kept for heaven; heaven is prepared for us, and we are prepared for heaven. There is a double action of God's grace thus working in us, and working for us, to eternal bliss.
