SEEK KNOWLEDGE 2

Text :  2 Peter 1:3

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the full knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.

God's divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness. However, you can only access these things through knowledge. 

Have you ever wondered why some Christians are not living a life that shows the nature of the God they claim to carry?

Or, have you ever wondered why you are not really leading a life  that depicts His godliness? Well, the answer is simple, our text says, His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness *through the full knowledge of Him* who called us.. So, it's clear that knowledge is key.

 *It is one thing to have everything you need, it is another thing to lack the knowledge of everything you have.* 

Anyone that lacks the full knowledge of the God that called him will lack the power to live the life expected of him.

This is why second Timothy 3:5 says some believers (so called)  will hold on to an outward form of godliness but deny its power thereof. 

Godliness has little or nothing to do with going to church, leading any group in church or performing any of such activities. At best, these can only be regarded as religion. But godliness has everything to do with how your everyday life pleases the Father.

The more of the Father you know,the  more of His commandments you will obey and the more your life will bring pleasure to Him.

Lack of knowledge will ultimately lead to destruction. Hosea 4:6  says: "My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge of me" Because you rejected that knowledge, I will reject you as a priest for me. Since you forget the Law of your God, I will also forget your children.
