Look at verses 3 and 4 He starts off by saying his divine power granted to us, all things that protain to life and Godliness What hes telling us is that Gods power The power that made this world The power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead This power has moved into your life and granted us all things that proclaim life and Godliness Paraphrase Everything you need to be Godly, God gave you by his power How?... through the knowledge of him Now this is an amazing thing What this means is that the main thing we need to be Godly is to know God You dont need new circumstances in your life to grow in Godliness You dont need new family or new people in your life in order to grow in Godliness You dont need new roommates to grow in Godliness You dont need a new personality to grow in Godliness, you dont have to worry about your past What you need to know is you need to know God You see that, he has given us everything for life and Godliness through the knowledge of him Look at verse 2 Peter says "May grace and peace be multiplied in you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our lord" How do you get more grace and more peace? How do you live a Godly Life? You live a Godly life by knowing God The reason people dont live Godly lives is because they dont know God Romans Ch. 1 is a list of totally immoral things that people do: Gossip, hating their parents, all kinds of sexual immorality and he says "well why did this happen" Because they did not see fit to honor God, they rejected the knowledge of God, they suppressed the truth of God and of righteousness and when you put down God as an idea and cover up God as a person you destroy the knowledge of God, your always gonna get ungodly lives Letras de cancionesAs sure as Day follows Night, but when someone comes to know God you will always get a Godly life Because knowing God changes you and what Peter is telling us here is that we got everything we need for life and Godliness, because we know him He has lit up our hearts, hes giving us a new birth and now we see him as beautiful Before your born again you cant even see the Kingdom of God Once your born again, the very things that look foolish to the world: A cross, a dying Savior All of a sudden become the most attractive things to you in the world.
