God only has one answer to our problems, Jesus! So sorry A.I., despite the claims of your “Immaculate Conception” Jesus is the Answer!
2 Peter 1:2-4Â
2Â Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3Â According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4Â Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
If we only realized as Christians, the power we have to be like Christ, that we are born again in the image of Jesus, our relationships in our homes, on our jobs, and in our communities would be drastically changed. Not to mention our quality of life would be greatly increased through our personal relationship with God.
Many have not ceased to fellowship in the kingdom of darkness because,
1.) They don’t know who they are.
2.) They don’t know whose they are.
As believers God has provided exceedingly great promises, and given us access to a divine nature.  He has made a way for us to escape the corruption of this world, that so many “CHRISTIANS” refuse to relent. Its a sad thing, and I often feel like a profit of old, screaming “REPENT” and turn back to God. Many in the church (the Bride of Christ) go a whoring, and because of itching ears will find someone to justify their actions.
You say you have faith? Â 2 Peter 1:5-8
Well build upon the foundation of faith, with diligence, adding:
1.)Â Virtue
2.)Â Knowledge
3.)Â Temperance
4.)Â Patience
5.)Â Godliness
6.)Â Brotherly Kindness
7.)Â Charity
Because if these things are apart of your life you will see Christ, as he is and know him intimately verse 9Â But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
–
Don’t be spiritually blind, make sure you are doing all you can to exhibit these characteristics in your life. Don’t be spiritually short-sighted forgetting what God brought you from, because if you do, you can very easily slip back into old habits.
verse 10Â Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
–
Saints of God don’t often talk civilly when it comes to matters of verse 10. Many take offense to such talk. But I dare say “MAKE SURE YOUR SAVED” and not just deceiving yourselves. Eternity is too long to be wrong about this. Make sure you are seeing the true answer JESUS and not some figment of your imagination.
God Bless.
