Pursue Godliness
Scope of God's provision. V3. All of life. God has provided everything we need.
Source of God's provision. Last part of v3. Jesus. We need to know Jesus. Through Christ's glory and excellence, we have God's promises: there will be offspring that will crush the head of a serpent, that if yout confess with your mouth, Christ will never leave you, God will not withhold anything you need. Sufficiency of God's provision. Scripture is sufficient. 2 Thes 2:13. Sufficient to convert, convict, and sustain God's people. Why do we look elsewhere?
Purpose of God's provision. V4. As we are in the Word, we are transformed and become partakers. Partakers have fellowship and communion with God. God has provided us with everything to be the image God or become more like Him.
We believe the Bible is sufficient. So how does this work in our lives or help us? Bible tells us everyone will be in either heaven or help. We need to ensure they KNOW. We need to be a picture of Jesus with mercy and grace. We need to talk about the Bible all the time and be an example of what the Bible says.
