God Has Already Given Everything You Need

“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 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. 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.” (2 Peter 1:2-4, NIV)
Peter makes an astonishing statement. He says, "[God] has [already] given us everything we need..." and we must be careful to observe the tense of the verb. It does not say that God will give us, it says God has already given us everything we need. God has already supplied all our needs. Lay hold of that fact because if you miss that, then you are not going to be able to understand the nature of God's provision. God has already given us everything we need.

In the second part of verse 3 Peter returns to the theme that it is all contained in Jesus, "through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and [virtue]." It's so important that we understand that it is all contained in Jesus that Peter states that twice.

However, in that second passage the word that is translated in the English version "knowledge" is not exactly the same word as is translated "knowledge" in the previous verse. In that third verse, the word "knowledge" in Greek means "acknowledge." So it's not just an intellectual, theological knowledge of Jesus, but it means acknowledging Him, seeing who He is, recognizing Him and giving Him His rightful place in our lives.

So, Peter’s words reveal remarkable truths.

First of all, God's provision for us is in abundance.

Secondly, God is the only source for this provision. Jesus is the only channel.

Thirdly, God's power has already given us everything we're ever going to need, and I emphasize the perfect tense. It's all been done. God has already given!

And fourthly, this is a repeat of something, an extension of it, it is all contained in knowing Jesus. But it is not just knowing Him intellectually or theologically or having doctrines about Jesus, but it' is knowing Him as a person and giving Him His right place in our lives. It is really making Jesus Lord in every area of our lives. That is what is contained in the word "acknowledging Jesus."

I have been saying that God has already given you everything you are ever going to need. Now you may look at your life at this point and say, "Well, if God has given it, I don't see it. There are needs in my life that have not been met and yet I'm a believer and I'm doing my best to walk the Christian road and to serve God and to be one of God's people."

Well, here's the really important key. This is something that the Holy Spirit revealed to me years ago and it's been a major factor in my own spiritual progress. Where is everything? If God has already given it, why don't we see it? Why don't we seem to have it? Now, here's the answer. We will read the words of Peter and then I'll comment on it.

“Through these [that's through the glory and goodness of Jesus] God has given us his very great and precious promises...” (NIV)

In the previous verse we read, "God has given us everything we need." Now in this verse we read, "God has given us His very great and precious promises." What is the conclusion? It's very simple and very logical. Everything we need is contained in the promises of God, so when God has given us His promises, in them He has given us everything we're going to need for time and eternity.

Prayer Response
Dear Lord Jesus, help me to acknowledge You as Lord in every area of my life. And help me to see the depths of Your promises and how everything I will ever need, for time and eternity, is provided for in these wonderful promises. And thank You for Your sacrifice, that has made it available! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

God Bless You 🙏

The Blessing of Abraham Is Yours

In this series so far, you have seen the manifold blessings that Jesus Christ obtained for us. In the following days we will be exploring the practical principles that are the key to claiming all these blessings, and thus entering into our full inheritance.

Our key Scripture that speaks about redemption and deliverance from the curse of the Law; the curse of disobedience to God, is Galatians 3:13-14:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us - for it is written, ‘Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree’ - in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” (NAS)
When Jesus hung on the cross He was visibly, demonstrably presented as bearing a curse because in the Old Covenant in the book of Deuteronomy it was written, "Cursed is every one who hangs on a tree."

But that Jesus bore the curse not for Himself, but for us. He was our substitute! Kinsman-redeemer! The one who took our nature that He might take our place!

And so, the curses due to our disobedience came upon Jesus, the positive purpose being that in return, through our faith in Him, the blessings due to His obedience might be made available to us.

You have to understand the exchange. Jesus took the curse that you might have the blessing. Jesus took the evil due to us, that you and I might receive the good due to Him. That is the key to understanding the cross and the cross is the key to understanding the whole message of the gospel.

Now, in Galatians 3:14, Paul says:

“…in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles.”
Elsewhere in the epistle to the Galatians, he explains that through our faith in Jesus, the seed of Abraham, we can be reckoned as the descendants of Abraham, although, for those of us who are Gentiles and non-Jews, we are not the descendants of Abraham by natural descent. Through our faith in Jesus, the promised seed of Abraham, we enter into the inheritance of Abraham, and we become heir to the blessings that God promised to Abraham and to his descendants.

Jesus, through His death on the cross, has made redemption from the curse of the broken law possible for both the Jewish people and also for us, who are Gentiles, in the inheritance of Abraham. Through your faith in Christ, God now makes available to you, too, the blessing of Abraham.

Thank You Father that it is Your will that I enter into the full inheritance You have made available to me, through the death and resurrection of Your Son Jesus Christ. I pray You give me more revelation as to what that means exactly, and help me to receive all You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

God Bless You 🙏

“The harvest is plentiful, but too many workers are distracted by politics while souls are dying without Christ. Jesus did not command us to fight for earthly kingdoms more than His heavenly kingdom.

The church was called to preach repentance, salvation, love, holiness, and truth — not to idolize political leaders. When believers spend more time arguing online than praying, fasting, studying the Word, and winning souls, something is spiritually wrong.

This world will pass away, but the Kingdom of God is eternal. Stay focused. The mission is still the Gospel.”

Matthew 28:19-20
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Politics can change a nation, but only God can change the human heart.

As Christians, our loyalty to Christ must always be greater than our loyalty to any political party, politician, or government.

Speak truth.
Stand for righteousness.
Defend what is good.

But never let politics turn your heart hateful, prideful, or cruel.

You can love your country deeply without worshipping politicians blindly.

You can stand for truth without losing compassion.

You can disagree without destroying people.
The world teaches division. Christ teaches wisdom, humility, and love.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” — Psalm 146:3

At the end of the day, kingdoms rise and fall, presidents come and go, but God remains on the throne forever.
