Christ Life Quality Check
by Rev Shola Olayemi
God's Divine Provision for Life
"As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue." (2 Peter 1:3 NKJV)
The Holy Spirit is the person of the Father's personal presence, His glory and His dealings. You are a joint participant of God's personal presence, glory, and dealings.
Partakers of the Divine Nature
"By which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." (2 Peter 1:4 NKJV)
The Call to Add Virtue Upon Virtue
"But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins." (2 Peter 1:5-9 NKJV)
