Life and Godliness
Peter 1:3 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, “All things that pertain to life” → everything necessary for living the Christian life “All things that pertain to godliness” → everything necessary for living the Christian life in a way that pleases God in godliness 1. ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE What has God given me that I need to live the life He has called me to live? God has given me everything I need to live. Life Salvation Identity Purpose Provision Strength Wisdom Guidance Hope Peace Joy Comfort Grace Promises His Word His Spirit His people His presence His power His protection 2. ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO GODLINESS What has God given me that enables me to actually live like God wants me to live? God has given me everything I need to live rightly. Faith Obedience Holiness Love Humility Purity Patience Kindness Self-control Forgiveness Compassion Contentment Thankfulness Generosity Faithfulness Wisdom Perseverance Service Worship Witness The Christian does not live the Christian life by continually trying to obtain from God what He has failed to give us, for He has given us everything. We live the Christian life by learning to use, trust, and depend upon what God has already given us in Christ.

Imitating the Goodness of God
As I am writing for this week, there are always "cuts" from the sermon that don't make the final draft for Sunday. The Lord led me to another thought in one of the points for Sunday, but I wanted to share what is not going to make it, for the thoughts are key to ponder upon. We will consider Paul's words in Ephesians 5:1, that we are to imitate the goodness of the Father. Consider these things as to who the Father is and what we are to imitate from Him... How does the Christian imitate the Father in Ephesians 5:1? “As beloved children”— How does being God's child change how I live? 1. We imitate God's holiness - God's children should look like their holy Father. 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Being God's child means my conduct should increasingly reflect His holiness. 2. We show kindness because God is Kind Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. 36 Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. This one fits with Ephesians 5:1 - “Be imitators of God, as beloved children.” Jesus tells us to live like sons because this is what our Father is like. 3. We pursue peace because we are God's children Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Again, Jesus connects sonship with family resemblance. God's children are peacemakers because they resemble the God who reconciles. 4. We don't retaliate—We bless 1 Peter 3:9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. The Christian is no longer governed by the old patterns of retaliation, hostility, and revenge. 5. We practice righteousness because we have been born of God 1 John 2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. The point is not that righteous behavior makes us God's children, but righteous behavior reveals the family resemblance of those who have been born of God. 6. We refuse to live in habitual sin because we are God's children 1 John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. And the conclusion: 1 John 3:10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. This brings together two major family characteristics - righteousness + love. 7. We Reject Loving the World because Our Great Desire is our loving Father in Heaven 1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
