"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." (2 Peter 1:2)
Not long before he died, Peter wrote this letter probably from prison in Rome to Christians who are facing persecution and maybe even their own martyrdom. This is the opening of his letter and a lot of it is centered around the ways God's grace shows up in our lives. In biblical terms, grace isn't an excuse to sin. It's God's work in our lives as an agent of change moving us beyond where we are. Charles Spurgeon said it this way, "Grace is the mother and nurse of holiness, not the apologist of sin." Peter says, the more we know God, the more we will know His grace and the more we will feel His peace. Where do you lack peace today? Where do you need his grace to empower change in you? Lean in and draw near to know him. He's where the joy is!
