The Exceeding Great and Precious Promises
Life B-P Church Worship Services I & II, 2nd August 2026
Text: 2 Peter 1:1-4

I.    God’s Promises Begin with His Saving Grace (v. 1,2)

1. Every believer has received the same “like precious faith.”
2. It is “obtained” which means a “divine allotment” (Eph. 2:8,9)
3. Jesus Christ is both God and Saviour, and His righteousness is imputed to all who believe (2 Cor. 5:21).
4. Grace received produces peace that is multiplied as we grow in the knowledge of Christ.
5. Every promise of God begins with His saving grace in Christ.

II.    God’s Promises Are Backed by His Divine Power (v.3)

1. We are called to live the Christian life by God's power.
2. God has given us everything we need for life and godliness.
3. His power is experienced through knowing Christ—in His Word, prayer, worship, and in fellowship.
4. We have been called to glory (God’s character and majesty) and virtue (moral excellence and Christlikeness).

III.    God’s Promises Bring Transformation (v.4)

1. God's promises are exceeding great and precious because they come from a great God.
2. We become partakers of the divine nature sharing God’s communicable attributes.
3. God's promises enable us to resist the corruption and sinful desires of this world.

Questions

1. How do Peter's words, “like precious faith with us”, encourage us in our walk with Christ?
2. How can we experience and depend on His “divine power” in our daily lives?
3. What does it mean to be “partakers of the divine nature,” and how does this contribute to our sanctification?
