HAS GRANTED TO US EVERYTHING

August 15, 2024          HAS GRANTED TO US EVERYTHING 


2 Peter 1:3-4 “seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.”


We are not lacking; we have all we need pertaining to life and godliness. There is a tendency to see ourselves as being needy or insufficient in some areas of our lives. That is not to say that we have arrived and need not worry about improving or growing. This passage is saying something that we need to hear, and it is a vital message. A key factor in this subject is that we have all we need only through the true knowledge of Him. The amazing truth is that because the Spirit of God dwells in us permanently, we have everything pertaining to life and godliness. When we face a challenge or when we face a trial or we have a mountain of some sort before us, we can be assured that the Spirit of God will navigate us and give us the wisdom we need to address what is before us. We do not need to fret; just follow the leading of the Spirit. Hearing and following the Spirit is not always a dramatic, earth-shaking experience; often we simply hear a quite voice giving us direction. (Oswald Chambers says that as we walk with the Spirit, we get use to or accustomed to His presence; He is in us, a part of us; hearing Him becomes natural for us.) We must not ignore the Holy Spirt or grieve Him. As believers, we are unique to say the least; we have been joined to the Creator God; we have His Spirit living in us; and we have been given new minds, new hearts and new spirits, AND we have become partakers of His divine nature!! The sad thing is that we hear more sermons and read more books that hi-light our deficiencies rather than hi-light who we are as sons and daughters of God. God has given us magnificent promises and these promises or not reserved just for the future-they are for now promises. We live in the world, but God has called us out of the world system and out of the worlds philosophy; we are a new species of humans. There is a lot to say here, but the take home point is that God has given to you and I all we need pertaining to life and godliness. It is a mystery; but we have all we need, but we are also called to grow in the knowledge of God and to grow in the faith-but no matter where we are on our journey with the Lord, we have all we need because He is in us and we are in Him! 
Colossians 2:10 “In Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”
