II Peter 1:1-8

As we go about our daily activities, it becomes easy to take for granted the benefits that God has given us as His children. We have had the privilege of fellowship with the Lord. We have experienced His salvation. We can easily forget what it was like not to walk with the Lord.

In the Scripture we have read, two things are pointed out to us as precious. We have chosen to call them Heavenly Twins. This epistle is written to them who have obtained precious faith. Our faith is precious not because it belongs to us.

• Precious faith
  • Source
    • Through the righteousness of God and our Savior, Jesus Christ
  • Its supply through knowledge of God (II Peter 1:3)
    • Grace
    • Peace
    • All things
• Precious promises
  • Promises dealing with salvation
    • Pardon (Psalm 34:18)
    • Adoption (John 1:12)
  • Promises dealing with our well-being
    • Prayer (Mark 11:24)
    • Strength (John 15:12)
    • Comfort (II Corinthians 12:9)
  • Promises dealing with our future
    • Future life (I Corinthians 15:22-23)
    • Future home (John 14:1)

With our precious faith, we have peace with God today. With our precious promises, we have hope with God for today and tomorrow.
