How Far Are You?
Bro. Craig Emerson Strain

Growing in Jesus is like crossing a river on some stones. The side we start on is the adam nature or the fleshly side. But when we give our heart to the Lord, we desire to grow and be more like Him. We choose to cross this river. Paul said 1 Cor 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Let's use 2 Peter, Chapter one as our scriptural steping stone to see how far we've grown in the Lord.

2 Pet 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Pet 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Our goal, Grace and peace, what a wonderful goal! Grace is unmerited favor that we show to others and peace is what we truely feel inside. One without the other is a false balance.

2 Pet 1:3 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:
2 Pet 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Let's take the first step.
