2 Peter 1:2
2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. HCSB


2 Peter was written to combat false ideas about God, about knowing God, about life.

2 Peter 1:3-4
For His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness
4 By these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires. HCSB

EVERYTHING NEED TO BE WHO YOU SHOULD BE


How do you receive Everything You Need?

God’s through God’s brings God’s .

Eternal life: everything you need for eternal life
Godliness: Faith, perseverance, love, (vs 5-7)
Godliness: same as fruit (vs 8) = success
Paul: Gal 5:22-23
Godliness: confirms salvation (vs 10)

God provides:
Divine nature instead of corrupted nature
Godly desires instead of evil desires

THE POWER OF GOD IS THE ENERGY SOURCE FOR LIFE & GODLINESS!

1 Peter 2:9
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, a people for His possession,
so that you may proclaim the praises of the One
who called you out of darkness into His marvelous
light.

SIN MAKES PROMISES….. that appeal to desire (human nature)
GOD MAKES PROMISES…. that appeal to desire (divine nature)
