Growing In the Knowledge Of God 2 Peter 1:1-11.

When we were born again the Holy Spirit empowered us with His own holy nature, the power to live a redeemed life is life God 1:3

Believers today must be on their guard against falling away, false teachers and false prophets, heresy and cult activity. Peter writes if we determine to keep on growing in Christ we will never fall away 1:10

As Christians we must never stop growing in our faith and in the knowledge of God. In his second letter Peter reminds his readers that through their faith in Jesus Christ they all share the same faith, and share in the divine nature. our faith has to be more than belief in certain facts it is first and foremost faith in the person of Jesus Christ. Our faith must result in action we need to put on some muscle! When Peter tells us to add to our faith he wants us to put into practice those same graces the full resources of our Holy God that were given us when we first believed 1:4 Add, supplement put into practise and take action are just some of the words used in different Bible translations 1:5

Believers must never become complacent, if we’re not growing in Christ (getting to know him more) we are easy prey for the devil. Peter says we are short sighted or blind to what we have been cleansed from, Suggesting that the more we work at putting our faith into action the more we will know the Lord and His call upon our lives 1:10

Memory verse

But those who fail to develop in this way are short sighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins. 2 Peter 1:9 N.L.T.
