Exceedingly great and precious promises

2 Pe 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

 God has given us incredible promises! He has promised to forgive us, to keep us, to heal us, to provide our necessities of life.  He has promised to comfort us, protect us, to be a true friend in time of need.  All these promises are given to us in order that we might experience a real relationship with Him, a relationship based in love and holiness.  Rely on His promises for the strength and courage to live a victorious life.
