2 Peter 1:3
“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”
God’s divine power has given us everything we need to live a good and godly life. We find this out by getting to know Him, who calls us to His own glory and goodness. Through this knowledge, grace and peace are ours in plenty.
It’s like having the tools for building a strong faith—He’s already handed them over.
We’re called to use what we’ve been given with care and passion, growing qualities that reflect a life honoring God. This means showing love, self-control, patience.. the works! These aren’t just nice ideas; they’re expected of us as we journey in faith.
Romans 8:32
“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”
Romans 8:32 is like a big hug from God. It tells us that since He didn’t hold back even His own Son, we can trust Him to give us everything else we need. Think of it as God’s promise to look after our needs because He cares for us so much.
The verse means more than just food and clothes; it’s about all the help and blessings God gives. When we love Him, like the verse says, He works things out for us in amazing ways—ways that show off His generosity and love.
That’s what abundance in Christ is all about!
Philippians 4:19
“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19 is like a warm hug from God. It tells us that He’s got our backs, no matter what. God’s not just any provider; he’s the rich King of everything, and He cares about our needs.
Trusting Him can take a huge weight off our shoulders.
We might worry about money or stuff we need, but this verse is telling us to chill. Look at how it rolls—God will handle things in His super generous way because Jesus Christ has a huge treasure chest in heaven with everything we could ever ask for.
So, when times get tough, this promise is like a solid rock to stand on.
Colossians 2:9-10
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.”
In Christ, all the fullness of God lives in a human body. This means Jesus has the whole nature of God. Because we’re joined with Him, we are complete. He is the head over every power and authority.
By being with Christ, we have everything we need. Our lives are filled with His power and our union with Him gives us true life. Through Jesus, God shows us who he really is and how much He loves us.
We don’t need anything else to connect with God or to understand His plan for us.
I HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE FROM THIS SERIES OF QUICK STUDIES. WE MUST GET TO KNOW OUR GOD, AND WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST.
