Those saved by Christ have a special blessing in that Jesus has made them truly children of God. Speaking of the results of the work of the gospel in the lives of Christians, the apostle emphasizes that as a result of their adoption by God, in Jesus Christ they are free from fear and blessed with a special hope that has a particular expression. This hope has to do with the inheritance we have in Christ and the glory that has become the primary goal of the great plan of redemption that God is carrying out in the universe.
