2 Peter (Program #5) – The Divine Provision (5)
2 Peter 1 leads us through a wonderful progression or development of the precious faith that Peter mentions to us in his first epistle. This faith, our divine inheritance is like a divine seed imparted or planted into our being. As with any seed, deep within resides all the attributes of the life of that seed. Peter clearly tells us that the life in the seed of faith is the very life of God. It’s Christ Himself. So the attributes which Peter goes on to describe are the marvelous virtues of God’s life as expressed in Christ. Following this line these verses in 2 Peter open to us the progressive development of the divine life within the seeker. As we move from faith to virtues to knowledge to self-control to endurance to godliness and then to brotherly love with the final stage of this life maturity being the very agape love, God’s own love being expressed.
