*Knowing God Helps You Access His Glorious Rlches and Abundance*

*2 Peter 7:3 (KJV & LB)*

According as his divine tower hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: *For as you know him better, he will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a truly good life: he even shares his own glory and his own goodness with us!

Jesus is the perfect reflection of God's personality. As we grow in the revelation of Christ, we know God better and we become aware of God's riches and abundance that are available to us and we are able to take possession of them. In Acts 20:32, Apostle Paul said, and now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. The Living Bible says, and now I entrust you to God and his care and to his wonderful words that are able to build your faith and give you all the inheritance of those who are set apart for himself. This inheritance that we are talking about here is inside us already. Ephesians 1:18 talks about the riches of the glory of God's inheritance inside us His saints. Knowing God activates them.

Now, what exactly is this inheritance? It is everything that you need for life and godliness. Romans 8:32 shows us that together with Christ, God has freely given us ALL things. It is everything that Jesus is, everything that Jesus has and everything that Jesus can do. We share in the life and the riches of Christ. Romans 8:17 says we are heirs of God and we are joint heirs with Christ. Together with Christ, we have access to all of God's fullness for every area of our lives. In Ephesians 3:8 Apostle Paul talks about the unsearchable or infinite riches of Christ that are available to us. Because of God's abundant grace that has abounded to you in Christ, you have sufficiency in all things and you will be able to do every good thing you desire to do, 2Cor.9:8.

*Prayer:*
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the glorious and abundant riches of Christ that I experience as I grow in my knowledge of You.
