Know Your Faith

A Fruitful Faith: 2Peter 1:1-11

June 5, 2016

Please turn to 2Peter 1:1-11 (NKJV)

Big Idea: to never wonder if a life lived in faith is worth it.

-What does it mean to live a fruitful life?

-Does anyone here even want a fruitful life?

“For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren

nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2Peter 1:8

Knowledge of God (1:2, 3:18): to knowing Him deeply, personally, intimately

1: The Cause: Something to know. Know Him

App: Do you know Him?

2: The Effect: Some things to be about (V 5-8). Fruit that will last

App (Cause): In Christ, God gives everything we need to successfully live the Christian life

App (Effect): We must be intentional to work out the fruit

working in us

3: Cause + Effect = Something to be sure of (V 10-11)

App: Are you willing to allow God to empower you in this matter of bringing forth these kinds of fruits?

What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today? How must you respond?
