Grace and Peace in Excess
Welcome to this new day that brings with it new opportunities! It’s Wednesday and I am so glad to have this time with you to encourage your joy!
2Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
He gave us something according to His divine power.
He gave us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
We possess it through the knowledge of Him.
By His glory and virtue with which He called us He also gave us exceedingly great and precious promises. By receiving such promises and walking in faith according to them we are made partakers of His divine nature.
This is how we escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
This is describing for us the new life we have in Jesus and the wonderful way in which it works in us.
Who would want to live like a beggar when Scripture clearly reveals we already have what we need with excess? I encourage you today to go live in the excess you have been given in Christ Jesus.
