Look at verses 3 and 4
He starts off by saying his divine power granted to us, all things that protain to life and Godliness
What hes telling us is that Gods power
The power that made this world
The power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead
This power has moved into your life and granted us all things that proclaim life and Godliness
Paraphrase
Everything you need to be Godly, God gave you by his power
How?... through the knowledge of him
Now this is an amazing thing
What this means is that the main thing we need to be Godly is to know God
You dont need new circumstances in your life to grow in Godliness
You dont need new family or new people in your life in order to grow in Godliness
You dont need new roommates to grow in Godliness
You dont need a new personality to grow in Godliness, you dont have to worry about your past
What you need to know is you need to know God
You see that, he has given us everything for life and Godliness through the knowledge of him
Look at verse 2
Peter says "May grace and peace be multiplied in you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our lord"
How do you get more grace and more peace?
How do you live a Godly Life?
You live a Godly life by knowing God
The reason people dont live Godly lives is because they dont know GodRomans Ch. 1 is a list of totally immoral things that people do:
Gossip, hating their parents, all kinds of sexual immorality and he says "well why did this happen"
Because they did not see fit to honor God, they rejected the knowledge of God, they suppressed the truth of God and of righteousness and when you put down God as an idea and cover up God as a person you destroy the knowledge of God, your always gonna get ungodly lives
As sure as Day follows Night, but when someone comes to know God you will always get a Godly life
Because knowing God changes you
and what Peter is telling us here is that we got everything we need for life and Godliness, because we know him
He has lit up our hearts, hes giving us a new birth and now we see him as beautiful
Before your born again you cant even see the Kingdom of God
Once your born again, the very things that look foolish to the world:
A cross, a dying Savior
All of a sudden become the most attractive things to you in the world.
Flame was a Japanese boy band formed in 2003. Initially, their sound was pop with hip-hop influences, which later evolved towards a more urban sound starting in 2003. The entry of British singer-songwriter Lee Taylor in 2008 brought a radical change to the group, significantly altering their musical direction. The single "Hanashitaku wa Nai", released in 2010, is a mix of rock and pop that represents the new sound adopted by Flame after Taylor's arrival.
