2 Peter / Question
Peter says God’s promises are given so believers may “become partakers of the divine nature.” He also says this involves “escaping from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” The purpose is moral and spiritual transformation tied to God’s promises. See 2 Peter 1:4.
In 2 Peter 1:3–4, the writer says God has already supplied everything needed for “life and godliness,” and that this supply comes through knowing the one who called them. These verses follow the opening greeting and blessing that grace and peace would increase “in the knowledge of God and of Jesus” (2 Peter 1:2). Verses 3–4 provide the grounding reason: God’s own power has supplied what is needed, and God’s promises aim at deep moral transformation.
These verses present God as the initiating giver. God’s own power is said to have already supplied “all things” needed for “life and godliness” (explicit claim), and this supply comes “through the knowledge of” the one who calls (explicit claim).
A careful answer keeps the immediate passage, the book's argument, and the whole-Bible storyline together, so the question is answered in context instead of as a detached idea.
Start with 2 Peter 1:4, then read the surrounding section so the answer stays connected to the passage's flow.
