1 thing leads to another

2 Peter 1
3 As we know Jesus better, His divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life.

He has called us to receive His own glory & goodness!

4 And by that same mighty power, He has given us all His rich & wonderful promises.

He has promised that you will escape the decadence all around you caused by evil desires

      & that you will share in His divine nature.


5 So make every effort to apply the benefits of these promises to your life.

   Then your faith will produce a life of moral excellence.

      A life of moral excellence leads to know God better.

         6 Knowing God leads to self-control.

            Self-control leads to patient endurance,

              & patient endurance leads to godliness.

                7 Godliness leads to love for other Christians,

                   & finally you will grow to have genuine love for everyone.


8 The more you grow like this, the more you will become productive & useful in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
