2 Peter 1 Verse 2: May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus Our Lord".
New Living Version: "May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord'.
Our Lord, Our Redeemer and Our Friend has three spiritual commodities that can be secure from no one else; Righteousness. Grace and peace. When we trust Him as Savior, His Righteousness becomes our righteousness, and we are given a right standing before God. 2 Corinthians 5 verse 21:
"He made the One Who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him".
We could never earn righteousness; it is a gift of God to those who believe. He saved us not because of the righteous things we had done but because of His mercy.
Nothing we can do for God can earn righteousness; it is a free gift of His love John 3 Verse 16: "For God So loved"
God Bless
