II Peter 1:5 (NASV) “…in your faith supply moral excellence…” I may read this and understand that I supply, not in the sense of adding to myself, but in the life of supplying: to the Body of Christ, and to the lost, those things that are spoken of here. I am granted everything pertaining to life and godliness, and am partaking of the divine nature, and am escaped from worldly lusts. Therefore the supply is within me, into, and out from me. The divine nature that is granted to us is diligent, and with that diligence we add to and manifest this supply one element at a time.
And so by God we are fruitful, useful, we see, and are made pure. We are certain and do not stumble. We live abundant communion, fellowship, and testimony. We are established in the knowledge of Christ, His Father, and their Spirit. How do we make certain His choosing and calling of us? We practice this increasing supply: we deliberately, purposefully, faithfully and continually supply moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and Christian love to our brothers and sisters in Christ, and to the lost that He is seeking.
Christ, who handled the 5 loaves and 2 fish, does the same with me, and His multiplication to me, in me, and out from me is my abundant supply and yours.
II Peter 1:21 (NASV) “…men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.”
Can I testify of being moved by the Holy Spirit to write from God? Not for the ungodly purpose of adding to scripture, but for the godly purpose of supplying faith and moral excellence, knowledge and self-control, perseverance and godliness, and brotherly kindness and Christian love. I may believe this to His glory. I will decide to do this. You may also. He will help.
Where would any other purpose for my writing come from? Would that source be true and pure? What should I write that does not pertain to life and godliness? What should I write that is not true, or glorify Christ, or testify of His excellence?
It is given to me as a writer to remind you of these things, and to stir you up by that reminder, so that we may always be lamps shining in the darkness.
May grace and peace be multiplied in me, to you, among us.
