Think of this (2 Peter 1:1-11)
Who is less than a beast? He who has forgotten grace. We must not forget the grace of our parents, the grace of our teachers, and the gratitude of our country. The freedom we enjoy was bought at the blood price of fighting communism. It is a great misfortune to forget the preciousness of freedom and not pass it on to the next generation. Peter tells us that there is something we must not forget as a person who has been saved.
I received the precious faith (verse 1). It is grace to be used as a witness of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus by confessing Jesus as the Christ. It was because of the peace granted from above that I was able to live as a servant who did what he ought to do in an unreasonable world. It is because of the precious faith that he was able to become a fisher of men by calling a fisher of fish or catch. The grace and peace granted by knowing God and Jesus are the apostleship that Peter obtained and the precious faith that does not discriminate from the saints living today.
I received miraculous powers (verse 3). When the people who were dying from fiery serpents saw the bronze serpent lifted by faith, they experienced miraculous healing powers. This power is poured out on those who reveal their glory and know the virtue of the one who called them. Those who knew the Holy God and became their own servants were used as great leaders. Living as those who know the divine dispositions of faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love are the lives of those who have received precious and great promises, and this is the miraculous power that is poured out with immortality.
We were led to the eternal kingdom (verse 11). Our faith, which is firmly established by the grace of the calling and the power of election, is not shaken by the world's lustful life. Add virtue to faith, add knowledge to virtue, add temperance to knowledge, add patience to temperance, add godliness to patience, add brotherly kindness to godliness, add brotherly kindness to love. He does. By not becoming lazy and unfruitful, you will not stumble, and will have plenty to enter the eternal kingdom.
I pray that you will become saints who do not forget the precious faith possessed by exclusive grace, the faith that pours out miraculous powers, and the faith that allows you to enter the eternal kingdom abundantly.
