Do We Need MORE?

“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” –  2 Peter 1:3-4

Questions asked and answered in the above passage:

Q: What has God granted believers?

A: All things that pertain to life and godliness.

 

Q: How do we find all things that pertains to life in godliness?

A: Through the knowledge of Him.

 

Q: Why has God granted us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him? 

A: So that we become partakers of the divine nature, and are able to escape from the corruption in the world.

This short Q&A came to mind after reading the passage and pausing after each comma, and placing stronger emphasis on the words immediately following the  punctuation mark. That little exercise is quite profitable. Once those three sink in, you can’t help but ask one more question: Where is the knowledge of Him to be found?

The answer is found in another passage:

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” – 2 Timothy 3:16-17

To frame it like the first three questions:

Q: Where is the knowledge of Him to be found?

A: In  Scripture.

So I ask again, with slightly different emphasis:

DO we need more?
