You Will Never Fall

Sunday, March 28th, 2010 | Lent Meditations

As we prepare for worship, would you pray this prayer and take a few moments to meditate on the passage of Scripture we will be studying?

Father God, please open my ears to hear what you have to say to me this morning. As I read Your Word and consider it, help me see what You want to do in my life. Amen.

“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

“Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” -2 Peter 1:3-11

Questions to consider:
-Peter says that God has given us everything we need for life and godliness. How has God provided for you recently?
-Of the things Peter says we should add to our faith, which areas are you doing well in? Which areas do you struggle with?
-What next step do you think God wants you to take in order to grow in those areas?
