Standing Firm on the Rock - 2 Peter 1.1-11
Jobey McGinty
Sometimes, as we survey the sin and weakness inside our own hearts and the evil and brokenness around us, we are tempted to think that God has somehow sent us out on a journey without all the tools we need...a journey that is doomed to fail. Peter encourages us, however, with a reminder that God has given us all we need for life and godliness, in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Our job is to simply respond to this certain knowledge by doing all we can to know him more and allowing this growing knowledge to lead to greater faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love.
