Sermon: 2 Peter 1:1-11; "A Guarantee from God"
Date: September 30, 2012
Pastor: Michael Howard


Scripture: 2 Peter 1:1-11
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through
the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith
as precious as ours:
2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord.
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through
our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so
that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness;
and to goodness, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to
perseverance, godliness;
7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.
8 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.
9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that
they have been cleansed from their past sins.
10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your
calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,
11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
