God's Math Pt 1

2 Peter 1:1-8 (New Living Translation) 1 This letter is from Simon Peter, a slave and apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to you who share the same precious faith we have. This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior. 2 May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. 3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the One who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. 4 And because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. 5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. 8 The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I don't know about you but MORE is a great word!!! Especially when you are talking to me about the things of GOD! The faith we have came by way of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, see I can dance on that one alone RIGHT THERE!!!! Next God is saying that MORE of His grace and peace will be multiplied and given to us as we grow in our knowledge. Our knowledge of what, or in this case who? God the Father and His Son our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.HALLELUJAH!!!! Then He goes onto tell us that He called US!! Aren't you thankful!!! Then Peter tells us that ALL things that peratin to life and godliness have been given to us by His divine power!!! ALL means ALL. How do we access this ALL again through the knowledge of GOD!!! If we don't what we have been given we surely will not be able to enjoy it. Saints of God we have been given EXCEEDINGLY GREAT and PREICIOUS promises by God but we are going to have to pray, fast, and study to get them ALL. I'm thankful that through God's divine power we have now have access to not only the promises but also to God's divine nature. Just think about that. God's divine nature includes a lot of things, love, mercy, joy, grace, peace, longsuffering, forgiveness, justice my oh my!!! As we read again about God's divine power His divine nature has caused us to and continues to cause us to escape the corruption that is in the world through lust. Glory to God!!! Truly God says in Joshua 1:8 meditate day and night on God's Word for then you will make your way prosperous and successful! Here God is saying you will have things added and multiplied to you as you grow in the knowledge of Him and His Son....does it get any better than that???? No........it really doesn't (-:
