” By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.” 2 Peter 1:3
” And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.” 2 Peter 1: 4
” In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self- control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.” 2 Peter 1:5-7
To live within the boundaries of our God in heaven we must live our life on this earth with a different kind of attitude. We must be able to turn away from the evil that this world puts in our daily paths. Our Lord God has prepared us well. He has given us every tool in his bag to help us overcome the things of our daily lives. He has provided many promises throughout his word that you and I must learn and be able to stand upon. We must know his promises and be able to use them when we need them. We must become closer to Jesus than we are to the world. Our faith must be strong and not weak. It must have deep roots so as to stand the strong winds of the world. Our faith will become stronger when we add morals to our lives, knowing and expressing good from evil. Our faith becomes strong when we add the knowledge of what God has given us. We must stay within ourselves and be self-controlled in the worst of times. We must be patient and not overanxious when we depend upon our Lord. All of these supplements will help us to build and make our faith in Jesus even stronger than before. It takes a focus and a relationship with Jesus that is detailed with knowledge and with understanding that there is nothing we should fear with Jesus in our lives. We must put Jesus first! We must read his word, meditate on it, pray his promises, that are within it, and praise, glorify and give credit to him for his very existence. He loves us and we should love him with our very existence. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
