This is the first of the 2 part conclusion to The God Life sermon series. To live the God life means to live the good life. God designed us. When we live according to his design we live the best life possible. Peter nears end of his life and gives us 8 qualities to work on to live the good life: (1) faith, (2) goodness, (3) knowledge, (4) self-control, (5) perseverance, (6) godliness, (7) mutual affection and (8) love. We learned early on that this is not an automatic thing for Christians - we must work at it. God does not “zap” these qualities into us. That’s why Peter writes in v.5 to “make every effort.”
In this video sermon - as we begin the wrap up to this God Life series, we discover the WHAT - what happened? - the WHY - what’s the motivation? - as well as the HOW? - how does happen?
