We join Pastor David Crespo in 2nd Peter with an exhortation for those of us who put their faith in Jesus Christ. We turn to chapter one and learn how to be strong in the faith, and how to be committed to that faith! We put off the old man and put on the new, by putting on The Lord Jesus Christ in all that we do! We stay in the word and follow that word, and when false teachers come in, we stay the course and stay strong! We do not waiver! Let’s listen in to learn more!
2 Peter 1:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV)
Greeting the Faithful
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have [a]obtained like[b] precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [c]corruption that is in the world through lust.
