God's Part: Power and Promise
In 2 Peter 1:1-4 we learn that the Lord doesn’t
expect us to live by our own strength or knowledge. He has given us
His power, and He has promised to help us. If He wants
us to walk on water, move a
mountain, overcome temptation, forgive someone, show love, or lead
a person to salvation, we can be sure He has already given us all
we need to do it. He has given us:
 |
A
spokesman to write in His behalf (v.1). |
|
A
Savior to rescue us (v.1). |
|
An
ability to trust God (v.1). |
|
An
opportunity to know God (v.2). |
|
A
Lord to lead us (v.2). |
|
A
source of undeserved help and peace (v.2). |
|
A
source of knowledge (v.3). A source of power (v.3). |
|
An
invitation to excellence (v.3). |
|
A
series of invaluable promises (v.4). |
|
A
way to experience God (v.4). |
|
A
rescue from corruption (v.4). |
