Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
By (through) him. Compare "the faith which is by Him" (Acts 3:16); His Spirit, obtained for us in His resurrection and ascension, enabling us to believe. This excludes all who do not 'by Him believe in God,' and includes all that do. To believe IN х eis (G1519) Theon (G2316)] God expresses internal trust: 'going INTO, and cleaving to Him, incorporated into His members. By this faith the ungodly is justified; thenceforth faith itself begins to work by love' (P. Lombard). To believe ON х epi (G1909) Theon (G2316), or Theoo (G2316), or dative] God expresses confidence, reposing ON God. "Faith IN х en (G1722)] His blood" (Romans 3:25) implies that His blood Is the element IN winch faith has its abiding place. Compare Acts 20:21, "Repentance toward х eis (G1519), turning toward and going into] God and faith toward х eis (G1519), 'into'] Christ:" where, as there is but one article to both, "repentance" and "faith" are joined as one truth. Where repentance is, there faith is. When one knows God the Father, then he must know the Son by whom alone we come to the Father: the only living way to God is through Christ's sacrifice.
That raised him - the ground of "believing:"
(1) because by it God declared His acceptance of Him as our righteous substitute; (1) because by it God declared His acceptance of Him as our righteous substitute;
(2) by it and His glorification He received power, namely, the Holy Spirit, to impart to His elect "faith:" the same power enabling us to believe as raised Him from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-20).
Our faith must not only be IN, but BY and THROUGH Christ. 'Since in Christ's resurrection our salvation is grounded, there "faith" and "hope" find their stay' (Calvin).
That your faith and hope might be [or, so that-are: hooste (G5620 ) ... einai (G1510 )] in God - the object and the effect of God's raising Christ: an indirect exhortation. Your faith flows from His resurrection; your hope from God's having 'given Him glory' (cf. 1 Peter 1:11). So Peter, in Acts 2:32-33; Acts 5:31; Acts 10:40, makes Christ's being raised by God the foundation of faith. Apart from Christ we could have only feared, not believed and hoped in, God. Compare 1 Peter 1:3; 1 Peter 1:7-9; 1 Peter 1:13, on hope with faith; love is introduced, 1 Peter 1:22. Faith and hope in Christ, so far from drawing from, draws to, God: for He is God: otherwise by believing in Him we should incur the curse (Jeremiah 17:5).
