1 Peter 1:4-5

(Born anew) into an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and unfading, reserved in heaven for you who are being protected and shielded by the power of God through your faith for salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

Salvation changes our lives and changes our inheritance. We are no longer separated from God and His protection, but changed in our spirits and joined to God in heaven. God is now able to shield and protect us as we operate in faith and follow His commandments. We cannot forget or doubt the gift of salvation and the power of God who stands behind it.
