2 PETER 1:3 " YOU HAVE EVERYTHING"

There are so many different people that come across our lives and shape us in different ways . Especially in our youth we are so impressionable, we are influenced by others around us. I had a friend growing up that in my mind at the time had everything. He had good parents and they gave him just about everything he wanted. Every holiday he got a new outfit, I mean shirts, sweaters, slacks, shoes, socks the works. It was like he had everything.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Have you ever met people that seemed to have it all, the perfect marriage, children, home, job, ministry, "everything". So do you, you have it all if you have Jesus!! The Apostle Peter says "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue " (2 Peter 1:3)  Peter says his Divine Power = it was a name or the title for God the Jews called Him who revered Him so much they would not pronunce His name, that's the God hath given us all things that pertain unto life.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            LIFE=ZOE=This is life real and genuine , a life active and vigorous , devoted to God and includes the present as well as the future. Zoe denotes in the Greek the physical vitality of organic beings, animals, men, and plants.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Life is understood , not as a thing , but as vitality, as the nature or manner which characterizes all living creatures.                                                                                                                                           This is the life you experience in Jesus Christ, real , genuine and vigorous, that's everything. Not things , possesions , people, but Christ He is the some total of everything . Life and godliness, that is GOD=LIKENESS itsn't that what we want to be like GOD?  The Life =Zoe= that gives us the ability to act like God and this should be the heart beat of every believer.
