Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:2-4)
When we truly know the mind of Christ through His Word, and because of His grace we have peace. We have power, the power to truly live a godly life in this world. We then truly are in Christ free from the corruption that once ruled over us. What joy we have in knowing that our eternal life began the moment we were saved. Being a new creature in Christ and born again, with the former things passed away means we have the promise that He will always be with us, and He will never forsake us. We are now fully and completely His. By adoption, which is more binding (legally speaking) than our first birth. We can not be unborn again, any more than we can be unborn. What a testimony.
Now that we have this power, position and promise: we are to live it, and carry His message of love and mercy to a lost and dying world. We are to warn them of the destruction to come. We are to tell them of the corruption and bondage that has them under condemnation. But, also tell them of the good news of Jesus Christ so that they might be saved. We are compelled to share this message of Hope to those that have no hope, and give an answer to every man of the Hope that is within us. Our Blessed Hope, Jesus Christ who loves everyone enough to become a man and die on a cruel Roman cross. And our now living Lord will come again to take His own with Him some day soon.
If your not secure in Jesus repent and believe today, and if you are, share Him with those you meet.
In Christ,
