For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature. For this very reason, applying your diligence [to the divine promises], make every effort in [exercising] your faith to develop moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge (insight, understanding), and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, steadfastness, and in your steadfastness, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly affection, and in your brotherly affection, [develop Christian] love [that is, learn to unselfishly seek the best for others and to do things for their benefit]. For as these qualities are yours and are increasing [in you as you grow toward spiritual maturity], they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in regard to the true knowledge and greater understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is blind—shortsighted [closing his spiritual eyes to the truth], having become oblivious to the fact that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this heart-transforming devotional. When you surrender to Christ, He gives you the power to surrender and submit to His Word. It is not by your own good works or deeds that you are saved. It is through Jesus Christ that you are set free and delivered from the bondages and strongholds of sin. Let Christ transform you as you read this powerful devotional.

Shortly after writing his first letter, Peter hears word of false teaching spreading amongst the churches in Asia Minor. The letter focuses on combating false teachers and encouraging believers to grow in spiritual maturity by studying the Scriptures. Second Peter reminds us to be diligent in confirming our calling by cultivating Christ-likeness in all aspects of our lives.
Through the finished work of Christ, we have been fused to the very life, power, and nature of Christ. Divinity has found a home in humanity. We have become the architecture for the Spirit of God to work in and through us. What an amazing reality, which has opened up the revelation of rest, the gold of being bold, and an entirely different operating system with the nature of Christ. Be encouraged to live a life from a different vantage point and be empowered to walk in a new level of boldness.
