2 Peter
2 Peter 1:3 ESV
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,

Conclusion: How do we apply?

1. Let’s draw near to God with confidence.

2. Let’s knock off being bad friends to each other and to our classmates. Let’s make friends because Jesus made that possible.

3. Let’s take our commitment to knowing and following Jesus deeper by the grace given to us when we approach Him.
