Faith In God's Word



Through God's Divine Power, He gives us everything we need for our lives. Rely on the Word of God alone to overcome any obstacles and challenges you may be facing. His word is Alive and Powerful!

2 Peter 1-11

1) Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ. To those who through the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:

2) Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

3) His divine power has given us everything we need for the 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.

10) Therefore my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will NEVER FALL, 11) and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Much, much love to you today and God's richest blessings always.
