Contents
Through our precious faith in Jesus Christ, we become the kingdom of God.
They became the people and became the holy children of God.
No matter what I am now, because of this precious faith we have,
We will be shining stars in the kingdom of God for eternity.
1. Precious faith is the faith that confesses the faith of the apostles.
In verse 1 we read, “Equally precious faith through the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
To those who have received with us,” he said.
What is Precious Faith?
Just like the apostles, we believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
It is faith in the grace of forgiveness, resurrection, and eternal life. (Confession of faith in the Apostles' Creed)
2. The precious faith is the faith we receive and enjoy in Jesus.
Grace and peace should overflow through the precious faith in Jesus Christ.
God bless those who have precious faith
1) He gives grace.
In general, grace is when something comes for free.
When things are going well, when you're feeling good, when you're out of anger,
It is used when results exceed expectations.
But the real grace is
① Being a child of God without cost
② to receive the grace of apology,
③ You have gained eternal life.
2) He gives you peace.
Peace is serene, peaceful, prosperous, and unity in life.
3) He gives life.
He gives us physical life and eternal life to enjoy in the blessed age of the end times.
4) All things pertaining to godliness are given.
What is Christian piety?
① The power that is revealed through faith in Jesus Christ,
② A way of life different from the rest of the world
③ It refers to the eschatological way of life.
3. Precious faith is faith that becomes partakers of the divine nature.
The Bible says, “Those who have received the word of God are gods” (John 10:35).
God blesses us with grace, peace, and godliness by faith standing on the confession of the apostles.
Whoever participates in the divine nature to live a life separate from the world by having everything that belongs to it
(2 Peter 1:4, 1 Pet 4:6).
The reason that Adam was made in God's image and likeness
To live like God.
As shown in verse 3, by his miraculous power he received all things pertaining to life and godliness
If we live with perfect faith, we too can become spiritual.
4. Precious faith is the faith that makes us bear fruit.
If you and I, who are children of God, live only by this precious faith,
It must bear fruit (Galatians 5:22-23).
But in order to produce better
① You must put forth effort (Exodus 20:9, Hosea 6:3, 2 Peter 1:10).
② We must lead a life of faith (2 Peter 1:5-7).
③ We must be diligent and not lazy (2 Peter 1:8, Proverbs 6:6, Proverbs 10:26).
