Summary
Peter calls believers to supplement goodness with godly knowledge—understanding that leads to obedience to Jesus, humility before God, and authentic worship. True knowledge of God transforms the heart and aligns life under Christ's lordship, protecting against deception and pride.
Highlights
Does your idea of Jesus fit around what you want your life to be? Or does your life and what you want your life to be fit around who Jesus is?
When we learn about Jesus, we realize in an increasing measure that everything we have in Christ is grace. So we ought to be the most humble people on the planet.
God's word is deep and it's rich. You will never reach the end of all that you can learn about God. And every single step along the way, there is worship that you can have.
