Godly

2 Peter 1:3

New International Version (NIV)

Confirming One’s Calling and Election

³ His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

We all have the ability to lead godly lives, however life doesn’t provide a safe environment to lead a godly life. Because we live in such a conflicting world, where everyone has their own interpretation of who God is and what it means to live a godly life it causes confusion for those of us who are trying to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Everyone has an interpretation for how to lead a godly life; in 2 Peter 1 we see that in order to live a godly life is through the knowledge of the Lord.

What does it mean by knowledge of Him?

The way we gain knowledge about anything is by studying books, researching online or watching somebody or something complete an action as well as using some of our common sense to fill in the holes.

The way we gain knowledge about the Lord is by reading and studying the word, through prayer and hearing the word of God. When we stay constant, reading or listening only to the same concepts-the Lord’s word, we can live a godly life.
