Godliness: A Faithful People Pursuing Virtue

Divine Power!

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.

2 Peter 1:3

2 Peter 1:3-15

Is my faith enough?

When do I go about doing the kind of adding commanded here?

How do I develop my knowledge of Jesus?

Do I orient my Christian living toward the minimum I think God requires?

If I remember and if I am strong, why should I be reminded?

“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall” (2 Peter 1:10).

[The Scriptures say in 2 Peter 1:5 -- Giving all diligence, add to your faith]
from 2 Peter 1:5

Rejoice. Be Glad. With Exceeding Joy

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1 Peter 4:13

Reading:

1 Peter 4:12-17

How do I prepare for “the fiery trial which is to try you” (1 Peter 4:12)?

And how do I rejoice in such trying times?

Must all Christians be sharing Christ’s sufferings?

Should I cultivate thinking of myself as being part of a suffering people?

What portion of my sufferings and reproaches are not for the name of Christ?

When I “suffer as a Christian” (1 Peter 4:16), for what shall I glorify God?

[The Scriptures say in 1 Peter 4:12 -- Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you]
from 1 Peter 4:12
