Lyrics 2 Peter 1:3 Interlude - Flame feat. Ryan Fullerton

Look at verses three and four
He starts off by saying
"His divine power granted to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness"
What he′s telling us is that God's 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 pertain to 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 don′t need different circumstances in your life in order to grow in Godliness
You don't need new family or new people in your life in order to grow in Godliness
You don't need new roommates to grow in Godliness
You don′t need a new personality to grow in Godliness,
You don′t need a new past
What you need is you need to know God
You see that, he says "He has given us everything for life and Godliness
Through the knowledge of Him"
Look at verse two
Peter says "May grace and peace be multiplied to 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 don't live Godly lives is because they don′t know God
Romans Chapter one has this list of totally immoral things that people do:
Gossip, hating their parents, all kinds of sexual immorality
And he says "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
When you cover up God as a person
When you destroy the knowledge of God
You're 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 here telling us here is that
We got everything we need for life and Godliness, because we know Him
He has lit up our hearts
He′s giving us the new birth and now we see him as beautiful
Before you're born again you can′t even see the Kingdom of God
Once you're born again, the very things that look foolish to the world:
The cross, A dying Savior
