7 Things We Have in Christ

As I begin my next study in God's Word, being in 2 Peter now, we come upon some wonderful things we have in Christ.

2 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, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

7 things we have in Christ

1. Grace and Peace

2. Knowledge of God and of Jesus

3. Divine Power

4. Everything we need pertaining to life and godliness

5. All the Promises of God

6. Partakers of the divine nature

7. Escape from the corruption of this world

This is amazing and it ought to change how we live. We already have everything we need. We have the power to live it out.

We simply need to lay hold of these things. We simply need to remove the word self and replace it with Him.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Live it.
