A Double Security
Multiple commentators, especially Charles Spurgeon, highlight a 'double keeping' that secures the believer's hope. Verse 4 states the inheritance is 'reserved in heaven for you,' and verse 5 adds that you are 'kept by the power of God' for that inheritance. Heaven is kept for the believer, and the believer is kept for heaven, making the promise doubly sure.
