2 Peter 1:3–4 (NIV84)
3 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. 4 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.

Do you have everything you need? If you are like me, without this bible verse in front of you, you may be tempted to say no I don’t. Alas, with this Word from God in front of you, you would, as I would, say absolutely yes! Isn’t it interesting that when confronted with the truth of the Word we are more disposed to answer in faith? Especially when you throw in the rich truth of these two verses! We have a divine nature in Christ to overcome anything! There are so many truths that I could preach a series sermons, but today I want to draw your attention to 3 great truths:

#1 You have everything you need
#2 It is through our knowledge of Him that we have everything we need
#3 When you read this verse your faith was encouraged to believe for more than you can see!

The Word of God is what you need to reach out and see the things that aren’t in your hands yet that you need. Without the Word you and I will stumble around “hoping” we have what it takes, but with the Word, we will confidently stride from victory to victory. I know it is not as easy as I just put it, but please understand that the Word is where we get faith from!

Romans 10:17 (NIV84)
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
