2 Peter 1:3-11 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world's corruption caused by human desires.

2 Peter 1:3-11 5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.

2 Peter 1:3-11 8 The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.

2 Peter 1:3-11 10 So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. 11 Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (NLT)

CONSIDER PETER’S SHOCKING CLAIM

SHARE GOD’S DIVINE NATURE Note why this is so shocking:

But Why shocking to us ? We have domesticated and diminished gospel and salvation!

Diminishing gospel leads to: Partial and paltry experience, less not more. Gospel with no need for church. Gospel with no need or demand for mission.

God’s Word: There is so much more. Sharing God’s divine nature.

Sharing God’s Divine Nature: Bumper Stickers: God is not finished with me/us yet! I’m not perfect only forgiven!

Sharing God’s Divine Nature: Why do we settle for less? We haven’t known better … We do not encourage one another … Laziness and Inactivity … The evil one encourages less …

Sharing God’s Divine Nature: “Strive …” or “make every effort …vv.5,10 Intentional developing/cooperating with faith, vv. 5-7 From faith … to love. Becoming like the God who is love …

Sharing God’s Divine Nature: So vital and important not to settle. v. 9, warns … and v. 8, suggests …

Sharing God’s Divine Nature: God has acted, provided, promised. Nothing less than a Jesus-life. There is more: full participation!

Sharing God’s Divine Nature: We must seek … name the goods promised … Claim them by faith, turn from whatever … Ask… seek… knock… Act in faith, see what God will do.
