Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

In Control(2 Peter 1)

Once again this book is dedicated to warning us about false representation of the gospel. Truth is a revelation from the Father.  In my research I also found that it was written before the books to Timothy by Paul which we started with in exploring the Word together.

2 Peter 1: 1-15

All we need to engage in life and godliness is provided for by our Father’s divine power.  We get all this provision when we get to know Him, when through faith we turn our desires to the Father only.
Premeditated acts of goodness,
 learning to know the Father through His Word,
exercising discipline,
persevering and learning to love one another; 
these not only grow our faith but bear fruit in our lives. We are also made aware that by these actions we avoid stumbling blocks in our faith.

Peter goes on to write that he wont stop reminding the believers of these things even though he knows they know them.  This he says is because in these acts our Lord is poured again and again in our lives.

2 Peter 1: 16 – 21

In this passage Peter reminds us of the moment of transfiguration, where the Father again declared to all that our Lord is His Son and in Him He is pleased.
None of scripture is from man’s knowledge or intelligence, but it is truth revealed by the Father.  Through His Spirit the Father will move men and women across all generations and races to tell and speak of His Truth.
