Everything We Need
2 Peter 1:3-9
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life
and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and
goodness.
4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious
promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and
escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5 For this very reason make every effort to add to your faith
goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control,
perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
kindness, love.
8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure,
they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and
blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
Who’s Slave?
2 Peter 2:19
They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves
of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.
God's Not Slow
2 Peter 3:8-9
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the
Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some
understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance.
