GROW CONTINUALLY
II PETER 1:1-2.Simon Peter, A servant of Jesus Christ, to them that has obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness with God and our Savior Jesus Christ; grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ.”.
Peter identified himself as both a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
The sharing of the precious faith is the common denominator that brings Christians together.
The faith which these people had obtained was equal in honor and privilege with that of Peter and the other apostles. Every Christian has equal access to God; every Christian has the same heavenly Father and the same prospect of eternal life. The reason for this equality is the righteousness or justice of Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus is Lord, and died for our sins, He is able to set us free from sin and to make us righteous. Our faith in Him results in our salvation, which is given by the grace of God. His grace and peace are multiplied–they are ours in abundance, as we are advance in knowledge of God, and of Jesus. We should never be satisfied at where we are, we should be continually seeking a closer walk with God and asking what can I do. We are either going forward or backing up, don’t get in a rut and stay.
Love to all.
