As we know Jesus Better......

I am studying 2 Peter this week. This is a book I haven't gone to in a while so as I was reading out of the New Living Translation, I was as I always am, so amazed how the Word of God is always so applicable to our everyday lives and why it is so very important to put that Word in our hearts every single day.

A few key points in 2 Peter I would like to share:

1. As we know Jesus better, his divine power gives us everything we need for living a Godly Life.
2. He has called us to receive his own glory and goodness
3. He has given us ALL of His rich and wonderful promises.

As we apply the benefits of these promises to our lives this will begin to happen.......

• Our faith will produce a life of moral excellence

As we live a life of moral excellence it will lead to knowing God better which will lead to:

1. Self-Control
2. Patient Endurance
3. Godliness
4. Love for other Christians
5. Genuine Love for everyone

The end result of all this growth is:

• We will become productive and useful in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ

Amen.
