GRACE & PEACE x GRACE & PEACE

2 Peter 1:2-3 (KJV) "Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 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:"


The Apostle Paul wrote to the Apostle Peter. This was a very personal second letter. He was very emotional and he carefully chose his words. He was under the influence of the Holy Spirit. He was saying that the EPIGNOSIS or the precise and correct knowledge of God and Jesus is the medium by which Grace and Peace would be multiplied to Peter.

This scripture is literally saying:

I declare that Joy, delight, pleasure, sweetness, charm, loveliness, good-will, lovingkindness, favour as well as harmony, safety, security, national tranquility and the exemption from the rage and havoc of war, be increased and multiplied TO YOU, in, by and through the EPIGNOSIS (precise and correct knowledge) of God.

He went on to say that the divine or Godly inherent power, which resides in Jesus Christ our Lord has given US (ALL BELIEVERS) each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, some of all types of things, which pertain to the God-Life (ZOE) and Godliness or Godly reverence and respect. He re-emphasized that all of this was through the Epignosis (precise and correct knowledge) of HIM who called us to glory and virtue.

I could preach a sermon on these verses but please, read them for yourselves and let the EPIGNOSIS of God and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ penetrate your inner being. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
