By His Grace, we are given all things but it is up to us to deploy those things.
2 Peter 1:3-4 KJV
3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Let's stay here just a moment.
God in His divine power has given to us everything we need for life and godliness. This comes to us through the knowledge of Him Who called us, that is, through the knowledge of our God and Savior. He has called us
to glory and virtue, here in the KJV. LITV and YLT show the more literal "through".
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises,
God has given us all we need. It's through knowing Him. He called us to, through, glory and virtue (leaving that translation question alone for the moment), again, "dia" here, whereby are given unto us, that is, He's called us to glory and virtue, and through glory and virtue His gives His exceeding great and precious promises. It's through His promises that we partake of the divine nature, presupposing that we "having escaped the corruption that is in the world throught lust."
His Promises.
A promise is to commit yourself. God has promised us, this means, God has committed Himself, to us, to do certain things. And God is not a man that He should lie. There is no shadow of turning in Thee!
God has committed Himself to . . . Never leave you nor forsake you . . . one of my personal favorites, as I find the very best day is one spent with the conscious knowledge of His presence with me and His love for me. Through faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross I can know true intimacy with God at all times in which I am expressing that faith.
You could call it choosing to pre-suppose Scripture is true, whether or not I "see" it come to pass in my life. What I find is that when I believe Scripture is true, that I am free from sin, and free from my flesh, and that I can overcome the world, that's when and why it's true in my life.
The Bible tells me I'm free from sin, that I stand in His grace. The Bible tells me faith overcomes everything. OK, I believe! I find having a consistent faith is the core of all spiritual warfare.
I find consistenly trusting in God to fulfill His Word is at the heart of every struggle we face, whether it be with the flesh and temptations and testings, or with the world in it's adversities and entanglements, or evil powers which attack our faith.
Luke 1:72-75 KJV
72) To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
73) The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
74) That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75) In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Much love!
