2 Peter 1:3

Jesus calls people to trust him. His *glory and goodness attract people. ‘*Glory’ refers to his excellent moral character. He is a holy and wonderful person. ‘Goodness’ refers to all that he does. Everything that Jesus does is perfect. He never does anything that is wrong. Jesus has shown us what God requires. When we trust Jesus, we start to know him in a personal way. Jesus is generous. He gives us everything that we need. We receive his power. He makes us able to obey all his commands. We can live a holy life. We can please God (1 Peter 1:15-16). ‘God’s great power’ refers to the work of the Holy Spirit in a Christian. The false teachers taught that people needed to know special secrets. But Peter said that Jesus’ power is sufficient for people who trust Jesus.
