Make Every Effort | 2 Peter 1:3-11

b'\\u201cWe have everything we need\\u2026 so make every effort to add to it\\u2026\\u201d This is the logic of this week\\u2019s passage. Last week we considered the gift of the gospel, which Peter goes on to show, is all about God\\u2019s power and promises. And this week, we consider how that gift is put to use \\u2013 how we invest it and capitalise on it. Throughout the passage is an underlying urge that we do not waste what we have been given, but that we use it for godly and productive lives in Christ. Not that this means we go beyond the foundation that Peter starts with, because he urges us to stay grounded in that gospel, every step of the way.\\n- Dan Kroon'
