The Human Response to God’s Initiative

2 Peter 1

“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and

godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own

glory and goodness.”2 Peter 1:3

Knowledge – “Greek word epignosis, meaning clear and exact knowledge. It always refers to knowledge which very powerfully

influences the form of the religious life, a knowledge laying claim to personal sympathy and exerting an influence upon a person.”

glory and goodness.”2 Peter 1:3

Christian Life

• How we grow our faith in Christ (2 Peter 1:1-14)• The basis of our faith (2 Peter 1:15-

21)

“To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours”

2 Peter 1:2

“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.”2 Peter 1:4

“Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith

supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge; and in

your knowledge, self-control, perseverance, and in your

perseverance, godliness; and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in

your brotherly kindness, love.”2 Peter 1:5-7

“Faith is not an event, it’s a process.”Ray Stedman

“For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless, nor unfruitful in the true

knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”2 Peter 1:8

“Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His

calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will

never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will

be abundantly supplied to you.”2 Peter 1:10-1

“Divine election must never be an excuse for human laziness.”Warren Wiersbe

“For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our

Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved

Son with whom I am well pleased”—and we ourselves heard this utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.”

2 Peter 1:16-18

“And He was saying to them, “Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until

they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”Mark 9:1

“And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your

hearts.

But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a

master of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by

an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from

God.”2 Peter 1:19-21

Chance of Jesus fulfilling only 8 of Messianic prophecies =

1 out of 100,000,000,000,000,000

Will you, will I, accept what He has given us and seek to have

knowledge of Him?
