2 Peter - Living & Abiding Faith

2 Peter 1:5-9

Ask God to help you assess your understanding of “faith” by reading and praying through these passages of Scripture (Matt. 17:20; Rom. 5:1-2, 10:8-11; Mark 11:22-25; Rom. 1:17, 3:23-31; 1 Peter 1:6-9; Heb. 11:1-6; Eph. 2:8-9)

Take time to read 2 Peter 1:1-11 this week. Ask God to open the eyes of your heart and help you to understand and live this text of scripture.

Are there any distractions, fears, or motivations that might be pulling you away from growing in your relationship with Christ? How can you refocus your heart on the promises of God to strengthen your faith?

How does your faith influence the way you respond to difficult situations or temptations? Think of a current challenge you are facing-how can you demonstrate self-control or steadfastness in that situation, trusting in God’s provision?

In what ways might you be “nearsighted” or “forgetful” of the work Christ has done in your life (v.9)? How can you refocus on the cleansing and transformation Christ has provided through His grace?
