Put simply, Peter’s description in 2 Peter 1:3-8 makes for a traceable account of the Christian life. It helps us understand how faith remains an enduring feature of the Christian identity, just as it was prerequisite to the woman’s health in Luke 8:43-46. Faith is highlighted—not merely for the fact that faith is commanded to men, but for reason that only faith may take account of God’s ongoing work.

  • rah
  • March 22, 2024
If Israel would be delivered from Egypt at all, it would be at God’s initiative. Israel’s new life, then, must wholly subsist in the kind and quality of life that God gave Israel through his intervention on Israel’s behalf and, after the fact, no other definition of life could exist for her.
