2Pe 1:3-7  "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,  by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,  and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love." 


We have everything as a gift from God. The knowledge of His glorious steadfast love brings to you everything needed to live freely as a Godly person. In this gift of freedom from sin you can now live in the nature of divinity, that is in Absolute love. He is Absolute Love. Living corruptly can now be escaped. He has provided the way. So walk this pathway, the pathway of faithful obedience. Your faith will be built up by living virtuously, learning more and more of what it is to be Christlike. Christlikeness builds on self-control and then steadfast love, this reflects who God is and in this steadfast love you will be able to show your fellow man affection and this is the way to have a world filled with Absolute Love.


Theses qualities are essential to truly becoming Christlike, to truly knowing intimately the Lord, Jesus Christ, Isa Al Masih, Yeshua Messiah- Yahweh. If you lack these qualities you show you really haven't seen or come to know God yet! There is still a blindness that holds you back from the glorious knowledge of seeing the worth of Christ. You have lost the sense of the God's cleansing power. 


2Pe 1:8, 9  "For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins." 


This cleansing from God demonstrates that He has called you to be His child. Don't take becoming Godly as a calling a take it, or leave it option. Living in the Spirit of Christ is your surety, in Him you can not fall down on the path.  No, it is for sure that living in the love of Christ, provides you abundantly with the means to enter into eternity, into the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. 


2Pe 1:10, 11  "Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.  For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 


It is my charge and everyone's charge to continually remind one another of these loving qualities. Knowing Christ, living virtuously, becoming more and more Godly. Even if you already know and live this way don't grow tired of being reminded of this truth, for sooner than you think you will be called to stand in His presence. 


2Pe 1:12-14  "Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.  I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder,  since I know that the putting off of my body will be soon, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
