SCRIPTURE UNION SU DAILY GUIDE 25TH AUGUST 2021

TOPIC: HIS DIVINE POWER

OPENING PRAYER: Make my life oh Lord a reflection of you as I study your word.

Question(s) for Reflection
• Is there any command for me to obey?
• What is God revealing to me in this passage?

Have you, through our Saviour Jesus Christ, received a faith as precious as that of the apostles (v.1)? If so, then the benefits of new life are yours! Find two of these in v.2. The power to live a righteous life is divine, coming from God alone (v.3), not by our own might or willpower (Zechariah 4:6). When we have new birth through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, God enables us to participate in his divine nature (see 2 Corinthians 5:21).

How is “the corruption of the world caused by evil desires” (v.4)? See James 4:1-3. Twice in this passage, Peter urges believers to “make every effort” (vs.5,10). This is a call to serious commitment to Christian living. Our loyalty is to add one virtue to another (vs.5-7). What will be the result of possessing these qualities (v.8)? Practical faith produces results as a demonstration that we “have been cleansed” from our past sins (v.9).

While these works do not guarantee our salvation, they nevertheless confirm it. They keep us from stumbling and uphold the promise of eternal life (vs.10,11).

• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?

Closing Prayer
• Thank you, Lord, that your divine power has given us everything we need for godly living. Help us to add to our faith all the virtues of the Christian life.
• Pray that the political leaders will act and conduct themselves in a manner that promotes peace and unity of their country.

Offer a prayer of faith in line with
• Psalms 119:1-88; 2 Cor. 4
