Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Hope

DAY 28 OF 30

  

April 28

Introduction

This letter is addressed to a wide circle of early Christians. It was written to counter the work of false teachers and the immorality that results from following their teachings. In today’s reading, believers are told to live in a way that pleases God, improving on their faith by cultivating goodness, knowledge, self-control, endurance, and godliness.

Today’s Scripture: 2 Peter 1:3 (GNT)

God’s divine power has given us everything we need to live a truly religious life through our knowledge of the one who called us to share in his own glory and goodness.

Today’s Reading 

2 Peter 1:1-21

Reflect

The Christian community is told that becoming one with God’s nature will help Jesus’s followers escape their old evil desires and the corrupt influences of the world. Here, acting in faith means doing things that show oneness with God. How can changing your behavior actually change the things you want? What spiritual disciplines, like prayer, Bible study, fasting, and attending retreats, might help you in experiencing oneness with God?

Pray

Lord God, in your divine power you have given me everything I need to live a life grounded in knowledge of you. Help me to grow strong in faith, and hold me firm to the truth you have shared with me—the glory and hope of Jesus Christ. Make me one with you in faith. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.
