2 Peter 1:3
“According as His divine power hath given unto us all things…"
“…that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue.”
What a Faithful God we serve! He is the One True God. The Lord does not save us to now leave us on our own to live this Christian life. He saves, equips and empowers us by His Word, by His Grace and by His Holy Spirit!
Just as a new mother cares for her infant child by nursing, teaching, keeping the baby warm in the
winter months and cool in the summer, caring for his every need, so our Heavenly Father goes before us
and with us as His children making every provision.
The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:10 “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.”
As we grow in our knowledge and love for the Lord Jesus, we are strengthened to live this life for Christ.” FB Meyer said, “Notice that God has given us every provision for a godly life through the knowledge of Jesus, but that we must avail ourselves of it. The promises are great and precious (2 Peter 1:1-2), but we must appropriate and absorb them, if we are through them to partake of the divine nature. Our redemption has been secured by our Saviour, but we must constantly advance and add to the golden links
already secured stapled in faith” Saints, let’s pursue Him today as that “Pearl of Great Price!”
