Promises
-
2 Peter 1:3-4 says, “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, [4] by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.”
God has given us all we need to make it through this life in a godly way. We have all of this through a knowledge of Christ and His will. When we choose to live godly, we have great, precious promises both in this life and the one to come. These promises come because we have escaped the corruption that is in this world, yet we must through Christ escape the corruption to receive the promises.
