“By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.” 2Peter 1:2-4 Because we choose to be in relationship with God, He gives us everything we need to live a godly life. He has given us precious promises. As we grow in our relationship with Him, we are empowered to overcome the darkness around us. Draw close to Him, claim His promises, and be blessed.
