“For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.” 2 Peter 1:3-4 ->me: NEW MEMORY VERSES!! Holy smokes! Two verses sum all a follower of Christ needs to know. Our acknowledgement, trust, and belief in Jesus; the one who called us by modeling and providing us (through His word) His own glory and excellence, has led to God the Father, in His almighty power, giving us everything we need to live a life of godliness. It is by His promises that we will have the hope and joy set before us, and be able to flee the evil desires and garbage of this world -> it is through these promises that we are able to share in the new heart condition that leads us to a life centered on the will and purposes of God.
