Introduction
2 Peter 1:1-4 - Exceedingly great and precious promises
"His Divine power..." This comes from Him. He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.
Note: The Greek word used for "has given" is not from Didomai, which is the simple "to give." It comes from doreo, which means to grant or bestow. This is stronger, more expressive word.
This about the simple word meaning "to give," as someone handing you a $20.00 bill. Once you've spent it, it's gone. The word, doreo, is like someone giving you access to their financial accounts. In order to take advantage of this access, you must do something: write a check, go to the bank, or whatever else is required to get the cash.
God has given us access to all things that pertain to life and godliness. What is going on in your life that is not like God?
Is God depressed?
Is God poor?
Is God lonely?
