A Great Gift

A Great Gift

Read: 2 Peter 1:1-4

2 Peter 1:1-4 (KJV)
1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

KEY THOUGHT:

It’s always nice to receive a gift. In fact, some might say that all gifts are special. But we all know that some gifts are not just nice and special; some gifts are great! And those great gifts we hold precious. That’s what faith is – a precious gift of God that is greater than all others, because by faith you have access to God’s grace and His Salvation through Jesus Christ. It’s such a great gift because Jesus brings you peace with God. He brings access to the promise of salvation that could only come from God – all things that pertain to life and godliness; glory and virtue; a divine nature and freedom from the corruption of sin. As Peter says, these are “exceeding great and precious promises” and all a great gift from God to you.

CONSIDER:

  1. What makes a gift precious?
  2. Why is the gift of salvation precious to you?
  3. If you were to list the greatest gifts you’ve ever received, what would they be?
  4. Is it possible for you to share with others the great gift God gave you?

APPLICATION:

Be grateful for the great and precious gift of God – your salvation.
