Everything you need to live a successful Christian life is already yours. God wants us to share in His own nature.The Holy Spirit in us allows us to share and show God's image.

The knowledge of God in Christ comes by spending time with Him and in his Word. Prayer involves my commitment to living out what God tells me. God's promises are mine to apply in my circumstances.

With the knowledge of God we have all things: righteousness, sanctification and redemption. We have everything we need to live a godly life.

Peace will flow out of giving God our worries and feelings.

Peter describes a faith that is precious. Your faith should be cherished and something of value that you don't want dulled or lost.

Peter calls himself a servant, a slave of Jesus Christ, being owned by Christ. When Christ controls us, we are giving over every area of our life to him.

God takes us fallen creatures and makes it possible for us to show His glory. We give glory to God when we live in His will lead by His Spirit.

God will "settle" us, meaning lay a firm foundation for us when we live in obedience to what He says to us in His Word. When we disobey what God is telling us, we weaken the foundation.

We are strengthened by committing ourselves to God's Will. Believe God for the strength to do the right thing.

Being strengthened by God begins with commitment, turning yourself over. Have faith to allow God's power to give you help to never to grow tired or wear out.
