2Pe_1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of
Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through
the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ
THROUGH the
RIGHTEOUSNESS of God AND our Savior Jesus Christ, we obtain precious FAITH!
We do not obtain
faith through our own righteousness!
If we have to rely
on our own righteousness we are LOST.
When we take hold of
our Savior's righteousness we can claim faith through HIM, we have HIS faith, a
sin conquering faith. We conquer through HIM and no other. HE is our LEADER,
our KING and we must be willing to follow Him through all of life, every part
of life. We can NEVER shut our King out of our lives, not ever.
Most of us in this
world today do not live life under allegiance to a king. And those who do live
under kings today do not live under kings that take them into battles, like
kings of old.
Our King, Jesus,
leads us into battle daily. We must
swear our loyalty to Him, we must choose to serve Him, we must follow Him
everywhere and anywhere He would have us go. We must do all He commands that we
do. We must live as He demands, we must do all this and know that as He lead us
from heaven through the Holy Spirit here on earth that one day He will return
to call us to meet Him in the air and return to heaven with Him.
He is our KING, and
we are His subjects, subjects He loves as His children, subjects He DIED to
save.
Please, Lord, please
let us realize You are our King, that it is YOUR righteousness that gives us
the faith we need. Help us to be YOURS,
wholly YOURS as we fight the spiritual battle here and now. A spiritual battle
that engages us daily. By YOUR GRACE and
LOVE, always!
