Living life as the Word demands can seem a difficult endeavor due to the pervasiveness of sin and how the natural man and the law of sin prevents us from adhering to God's commands. Fortunately, God has given us His Spirit to comfort, encourage, empower, and help us to live life in the manner that He calls us to and that His Word demands.
Although many passages of Scripture deal with this very thing, 2 Peter 1:3-4 covers it directly. Peter's exhortation deserves some pondering as we strive to live lives firmly attached to the vine of God. We need only remember that God has given the believer every tool needed for the job. One needs only to recognize that truth and wield the tools accordingly.
2 Peter 1:3-4: "His divine power has granted us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to His own glory and excellence, bu which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desires."
