Routinely we tell folks that the Bible, God’s Unique Book, addresses everything which we face in life, specifically or in precept or principle. Thus we refer to the “sufficiency of Scripture.” One of our most pointed reminders of this truth is found in II Peter 1:2-4, “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord: seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.”
In the context, verses 5-11 exhort us toward spiritual excellence on the basis of His faithfulness to fulfill His promises to us. What do you think about this piece of “God’s anthology?” Do you use the Bible promises to gain strength, wisdom, and direction for your life? Do you understand the sufficient nature of Scripture? Do you trust in the promises of God?
