You have what you need for a godly life!

When you give your life to Jesus, the Holy Spirit immediately comes and dwells inside of you. You then have the power to live the godly life God desires for you to live and hopefully you desire to live also! Look at these verses:

2 Peter 1:3-4
3 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, 4 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.

God loves us so much I don't think we can even come close to fully comprehending it! Verse 3 tells us God through His divine or godly power has given us everything we need for life and godliness! We have no excuse! We receive what we need through the knowledge of Him and His Son Jesus. Once we follow Jesus God grants us all His promises so that we ourselves take on a divine or godly nature! Verse 4. Wow! You have a godly nature by the power of the Holy Spirit because you are a follower of Jesus! praise be to the almighty God! No having this godly nature we now have the power to escape the sin or corruption of this world. We can overcome our sinful desire by our godly nature and power! Again we are without excuse!

Brothers and sisters we have everything we need provided by our great God for a godly life, may we live in the power of the Holy Spirit and bring honor and glory to our King Jesus by living godly lives! Amen!
