2 Peter 1:3-4-3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
The Lord made the earth wonderfully. The devil came and tricked Adam and Eve and received the power of this domain. Jesus defeated sin on the cross and all who believe and confess He is Lord will be
saved. The Lord is coming back in the last days to rule and reign on this earth for 1,000 years.
Peter is reminding us that we have been set free from the sinful nature. Our number 1 job is to serve our Lord and worship Him. Not number 2, 3, 4, 5 or clear up to 37. It’s to share Him with others. The day of enjoying the world, more like it was meant to be, is coming again.
Too many of us are geared to recognize God and make the best of this one shot on the world that we have. You only live once here. Is that the correct way to live? Is that what the Word says? Is that the faith the Lord is looking for?
I believe a serious study of the New Testament will tell you no.
Live for the Lord and all things you truly need will be given to you.
Matthew 6:33- 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
The Word indicates that by faith we are to die to our selfishness now and we will
be able to enjoy it with Him the way it was supposed to be later. It does take faith. Who will be the ones to trust in Him and the Word?
