Supplement or Be Shortsighted
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
2 Peter 1:3
My Takeaways
Something Old
I wonder how and when Paul and Silas parted ways.
Something New
If we have everything, we need to live a godly life then why don’t we?
I believe that we stop with salvation.
Supplement by adding
- Moral excellence
- Knowledge, (moral wisdom; living rightly with others; living rightly with)
- Self-control
- Patient endurance
- Godliness
- Brotherly affection
- Love for everyone
When we supplement our faith
- We will not fall away from it. (2 Peter 1:10)
- We will be welcomed grandly in heaven. (2 Peter 1:11)
“We can’t be content with an incomplete Christian life.” ~ David Guzik
Something to Do
Supplement my faith; don’t be shortsighted.
V11 Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ .
Such a great lesson for this season where it’s so easy to get caught up in “everything “ the world tells us is important & will make us happy. A time when self-control and patience and moral excellence can get lost. Thank you Wendy for the reminder to breathe & know God has already given us everything! Hope you feel better soon Wendy! Thank you for persevering & teaching today!
