Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2
This is Peter writing his last letter. It’s a shepherd’s letter addressing everyone who belongs to the flock. In a sense this is Peter’s personal conclusion and legacy:
Nothing else than the “knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” has the power to carry believers through the challenges of life.
Nothing else is pointing this much to SALVATION: from SIN (Titus 2:11 For the grace of God…offers salvation…) & from SORROW (Phil 4:7 And the peace of God…will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus).
For knowing God is a lifelong advancing process. We benefit constantly from an increasing measure of His grace and peace because through these qualities He reveals Himself in the lives of His children: The longer we walk with Him the deeper our relationship with Him and the more effective His sanctifying work in us.
Grace and peace be yours…
This is rather a reminder than only a wishful phrase. Those who have saving faith in Christ have lifelong access to this special quality of calling grace and protecting peace. They know that nothing can snatch them out of God’s hand. They feel sheltered in His grace-and-peace-giving hand in all earthly trouble and beyond that in eternity.
Gnade sei mit euch und Friede in Fülle durch die Erkenntnis Gottes und Jesu unseres Herrn. 2 Petrus 1,2
Dies ist Petrus’ letzter Brief. Es ist ein Hirtenbrief, der sich an jeden richtet, der zur Herde gehört. Er ist gewissermaßen Fazit und Vermächtnis aus dem Leben von Petrus:
Nichts anderes als „die Erkenntnis Gottes und Jesu unseres Herrn“ hat die Macht, Gläubige durch die Herausforderungen des Lebens zu tragen.
Nichts anderes ist ein so deutlicher Hinweis auf die ERRETTUNG: von SÜNDE (Titus 2,11 Denn die Gnade Gottes ist…heilbringend…) & von SORGEN (Phil 4,7 Denn der Friede Gottes…wird eure Herzen und Sinne bewahren in Christus Jesus.)
Denn Gott zu kennen, ist ein lebenslang fortschreitender Prozess. Wir profitieren ständig vom wachsenden Maße Seiner Gnade und Seines Friedens, weil Er sich durch diese Qualitäten im Leben Seiner Kinder offenbart: Je länger wir mit Ihm leben, desto tiefer wird unsere Beziehung zu Ihm und desto mehr wachsen wir in der Heiligung.
Gnade sei mit euch und Frieden…
Dies ist eher eine Erinnerung als eine Wunschformel. Alle in Christus Erretteten haben lebenslang Zugang zu dieser besonderen Qualität der rufenden Gnade und des bewahrenden Friedens. Sie wissen, dass nichts sie aus Gottes Hand reißen kann. Sie sind geborgen in Seiner gnädigen und Frieden spendenden Hand – in allem irdischen Leid und darüber hinaus bis in Ewigkeit.
