2 PETER 1 : 2
“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.”
The intimate relationship with God, through and in His Son, brings to us what we do not deserve. Also, we are saved from the punishment for our sins that we deserve.
We achieve this by transforming ourselves by studying and meditating on His Word. When we make the effort, the rewards are beyond imagination.
God provides us spiritual and material resources to live a godly life and glorify Him in that!
