v3 "seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.1 Peter 1:3-8 NASB (emphasis is mine)
v4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
v5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in moral excellence, knowledge,
v6 and in knowledge, self-control, and in self-control, perseverance, and in perseverance, godliness,
v7 and in godliness, brotherly kindness, and in brotherly kindness, love.
v8 For if these are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
Isa 55:6,7

Mission 2008 - To become more like God
What a worthwhile goal! I was challenged this last Sunday by Tim's message based on 1 Peter 1:3-8. It's so easy to get swept up in transient issues of life and neglect what's really important. Anyway I suggest reading this slowly and think about the words.
