“Granted”
Blessings folk!
Peter proclaims grace and peace upon the recipients…
2 Pe 1:2
May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
ESV
Grace and peace multiplied.
How?
In the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
There is no other source of peace.
Only the grace of the Lord.
Then…read these verses carefully.
One sentence.
Give close heed to what has occurred.
2 Pe 1:3-4
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises,
so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
ESV
Look at verse three.
God’s Divine Power has done something.
It has “granted to us”.
What?
All things pertaining to life.
All things pertaining to godliness.
Think on that.
All things have been granted.
We don’t have to ask, seek, beg.
How are all things pertaining to life and godliness granted?
Through the knowledge of Him who called us.
- Called to His own glory
- Called to His own excellence
Selah!!
