Daily Bible Nugget #823, 2 Peter 3:18

 

The Nugget:

2Pe 3:18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (KJV)

2Pe 3:18  But grow in the good will and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to him now and for that eternal day! Amen. (GW, God’s Word translation)

2Pe 3:18 Let the wonderful kindness and the understanding that come from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ help you to keep on growing. Praise Jesus now and forever! Amen. (CEV, Contemporary English Version)

My Comment:

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to read God’s Word, the Bible, daily!

This is the key to spiritual life and growth.

This is the key to understanding the significance of world trends and events. I have heard some Christian podcasters sharing opinions about events in the Middle East today. I wish they knew their Bible better!

I highly recommend that you read the New Testament long enough each day (for a total of twenty minutes or more) and often enough each week (at least four days a week) from here on out–that is, on a permanent continuing basis. Research has shown that by doing this you will reap the benefits such reading can bring.

I highly appreciate Ken Sagely’s selection of Bible verses about delighting in God’s Word!

From Ken Sagely’s Facebook Post:

DELIGHTING IN HIS WORD

JOB 23.12
Neither have i gone back
from the commandment of His lips
I have esteemed the words of his mouth

more than necessary food.

PSALM 1.1-2
Blessed is the man
that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly.
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful
But his delight is in the law of the Lord :
and in his law doth he meditate

day and night.

PSALM 119.97
O how I love thy law!

it is my meditation all the day.

PROVERBS 8.34
Blessed is the man that heareth me,
watching daily at my gates.

waiting at the posts of my doors.

JEREMIAH 15.16
Thy words were found, and i did eat them:
and thy word was unto me
the joy and rejoicing of mine heart,
for am called by thy name:

O Lord God of hosts.

MATTHEW 4.4
But He answered and said, it is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone.
but by every word

that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

EPHESIANS 6.17
And take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit,

which is the Word of God.

HEBREWS 4.12
For the Word of God is quick,
and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the Joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart.
